Pawns take a while to promote because they have to get to the last rank and the last level/board, but are very powerful in endgames. This might not make sense until you play the game and see what I mean, but bishops normally have many more possible moves than rooks do and are much more deceptive. For example, bishops are much more powerful than rooks in 3d chess, because rooks can only move in straight lines, but bishops can move on a diagonal between any two dimensions, or all three. Also, pieces have different relative values. 3d graphics might make this a tad easier, but either way its much harder than normal chess. I have played the game only a few times with some friends, but I must say that it is extremely difficult to plan ahead and actually strategize.
At the very least it shows you all of your possible moves for each piece. The game is only two-player (an AI for this would be insanely difficult to make), castling and en-passant are not supported, the game does not tell you if you are in check/checkmate (Though it tells you who wins if your king is captured), it only runs on windows, and it has graphics that are just pathetic, but if its something your interested in I could share it to you via google drive. In the game I programmed, graphics are 2d and there are just 8 chessboards placed side-by side, so the player has to imagine the three dimensions themselves, but the pieces move as if the boards were stacked on top of each other and were actually in three dimensions. It follows slightly different rules than the one in the Wikipedia article as it is an 8x8x8 board and some piece movements might be different, but it works nonetheless.

Actually, a few months ago I made an extremely unpolished game of 3-D chess in GameMaker, a piece of software used to program games.
