Description

Here's an elegant full-sized, completely tactile chess set for blind and visually impaired players - and their sighted friends and families. First of all, the large 9" X 13" wooden board is beautifully hand-painted with brightly contrasting colors for the black and white squares. What's more, the black squares are raised to make it a snap for anyone playing the game by touch to tell them apart from the white squares. And each square itself has a hole in the center, which the peg at the bottom of each piece snugly fits into. (This ensures that no chessmen will ever get knocked over or end up on the wrong squares.) At each end of the board are two capture rows - for you to use in storing and showing off your opponent's fallen men. The sturdy, plastic chess pieces themselves are shaped differently, too; so it's easy to tell a pawn from a knight or the rook from the almighty king. Plus ... you guessed it ... each white piece has a large dot on the very top so that blind players can easily "see" whether each piece is theirs or their opponents. Chess is such a widely played game that no one should ever be without a chess set. And since you don't even need to know a single letter of the Braille alphabet to play our version of the game with a friend, anyone who's just lost their sight will still be able to play the game they've always loved ...

Customer Reviews

Four Stars"My Digital Music"4My girlfriend is visually impaired and this was great for usMy girlfriend is visually impaired and this was great for us. Had to use sandpaper on a few of the pieces because of a little extra plastic from manufacturing, but no biggie.5Not a good item for anyoneVery small pieces and they fall out of their holes way too easily. Not useable at all! Very unsatisfactory product.1Take a look at other optionsAs a disclaimer I did not buy this set off of amazon. I bought it off of the braille Super store web site.This set is not very good. For one if you are expecting the pieces to be more Staunton like. prepare to be disappointed. The pieces are very irregular. one of the claims it had said was that the pieces were easily distinguishable. nOt exactly. The pants are easily apparent, but are kind of taller than the king. The rooks look like a flatten hour glass, the knights look like a 7 instead of a horse, the bishops have a ball shape, the queen looks like an upside down champaign or a wine glass. The king looks like a normal cup. If the claim was that the pieces were differentiated. For my moment i'd hope that it had that.The board is fine. Aside from having to revalue a piece of wood back on it. I do like how the board has a place for the pieces that were captured. as Chess pieces for the blind are pegged, and you would need some where to place them. If you are looking for a chess set. I'd definitely stay away from this set.2
