	Alice Chess
		Alice Chess is a chess variant played using two chess boards rather than one.
		All pieces move in the same way as in standard chess, except that Alice Chess is normally played without the en passant rule (see rules of chess).
		Black can also not play Kd7 to move his king onto the other board, because this move is not legal on the board on which it is played (the king on d7 on the first board is still in check).

	Alice chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All pieces move in the same way as in standard chess, except that Alice chess is normally played without the en passant rule.
		Additionally, moves must be legal under normal chess rules on the board on which they are played; so in the last position, for example, Black cannot play 3...Qd4, because under the rules of chess, it cannot hop over the pawn on d7.
		However, 3...Bg1 is possible, despite the fact there is a white pawn on f2 on board A: the fl bishop has started out on board B, the move Bc5-g1 is legal there, and the square g1 is empty on board A. This is all that matters.

		Alice's Adventures In Wonderland is the much more enjoyable tale of the two, perhaps because so much of it was already familiar to me as a part of popular culture.
		The Alice stories are some of the greatest classics of children's literature, but their bizarre nature and intriguing mathematical, philosophical, and theological speculations make them interesting for adults and thinkers as well.
		Alice also encounters the Duchess and her baby (a pig), the Cheshire cat (who fades away leaving only his grin), the Madhatter (mad no doubt from mercury poisoning), the March Hare, and the Dormouse having tea, and then she encounters the Queen of Hearts playing croquet as well as the "mock turtle".

		The story’s link with chess is faulty in many ways, but these are explained if the story is considered as arising from introducing Alice and her sisters to chess pieces and what they are for.
		In chess, the two sides are always known as Black and White regardless of the colour of the physical pieces, but Lewis Carroll refers to Red and White, the usual colours of an ivory chess set.
		The Alice books have inspired some variants invented by Vernon Parton, including Alice chess (played on two boards – after every move, the piece played is transferred to the other board), Cheshire Cat chess (every time a square is vacated it disappears although pieces may subsequently pass over it to move).

		In the 3D Chess world, there is an obvious way to partition the pieces; one player has permission to move the white pieces, the other player can move only the fl pieces.
