Rubik Cube Chess

Concept: chess on an 8x8 Rubik's cube.

You start on different faces. Pieces move normally, but only along the face they're on. You get to twist the cube after you move (probably with restrictions such as at least 1 of your pieces must be moved).

For more fun, add a third player and occupy opposite corners.

Another version would have your pieces not occupy a single plane, but be spread out in a regular pattern across two or three planes.

Main difficulty would be balancing the game so checkmates can't happen with a single twist. The fun part would be coming up with strategies that can work on an ever changing field.
