Enjoy the classic game of chess with this tactile chess set designed for blind and visually impaired players. The 9" x 9" chess board features a raised tactile grid with peg holes to help players identify the location of each piece and determine where pieces can move.
The standard-shaped chess pieces are easy to identify by touch. White pieces feature tactile dots around them, while black pieces are smooth, providing a simple tactile way to distinguish between the two sides.
Each piece has a peg on the bottom that fits into the holes on the board, helping keep pieces securely in position during play. Braille letters and numbers are built into the grid along all four sides of the board, allowing players to identify squares and record or communicate chess notation by touch.
The medium-sized pieces measure approximately 0.9" in diameter at the base, with heights ranging from approximately 1.6" for the rook to 2.1" for the queen. Standard chess rules apply.
Proudly made in the USA.
