The black and white squares on this plastic board provide a very sharp contrast, plus the white squares are lower than the black for tactual differentiation, and to keep pieces from sliding around the board. A hole in each square accommodates pegged chess pieces. The wooden chess pieces have tactual markings to distinguish the two sides, and pegged bottoms. The sturdy checkers pieces can be tactually identified by the square shapes for the black pieces and circles for the red.

Chess pieces are constructed with tactile markings that differentiate each player’s set. To keep the pieces in place each one has a peg on the bottom that fits into holes in the board.

Large tabletop chess set comes with two slide-open drawers that neatly hold all the playing pieces. White pieces have bumps on top to differentiate against the black pieces. On the board, black spaces are slightly raised over their counterparts so players can easily recognize playing fields. All spaces have holes so the pieces won't slide around the board. This feature makes it great for traveling as well as at-home use. Product dimensions: 13.75 inch H x 8.75 inch L x 1.5 inch W.
