Siafa B. Neal: The IAN Interview

Siafa B. Neal

I am the first author in the history of the game of Advance 3-D Chess to conceive of the idea of practically playing chess from a 3-Dimensional perspective.  My unique, one-of-a-kind chess books contain Diagrams, Illustrations, Drawings and Photos displaying key information about the game board, the Longitudinal Star Gate 14 Model, Model III, which makes the games fun and easy to understand.  It is imperative that readers understand the fundamental aspects of conventional chess to allow for the easy digestion of the new information which my chess books so vividly portrays.  My chess books and E-books contain the Equations or Statements of each movement of the chess pieces relevant to the game(s).  The equations display the symbolic mathematical elements and spatial relationships and relativity of the chess pieces on the game board.  The language of chess is indeed an expression of mathematical spatial relativity.  I work hard to provide to my audiences the necessary tools that makes relearning the game entertaining and easy to understand.
