Actually, I believe the book you're referring to is the Star Fleet Technical
Manual.  And mine came in a padded plastic cover labeled SF Tech Manual in
gold. 

Now, does anyone out there actually know the RULES for play of 3D Chess?
I remember something from the Tech Manual about 2x2 "attack boards" that
could be moved from pin to pin on the 3 main boards, with 4 pins per board,
one at each corner.  A chess-playing Trekkist friend of mine and I have been
wondering HOW these were used for a LONG time...
