Braille Chess, magnetic

$165.00

Highly-popular, accessible chess set among those in the blind community. 
This chess board includes algebraic notation labeled in UEB braille and high-contrast print along the perimeter of the board.

Components:

  • Board: Magnetic travel chess board with black and white squares. The black, smooth squares rest slightly higher on the board than the white, bumpy squares. Neodymium magnets are oriented in the center of each square on the board, offering alignment of pieces with ease.

  • Chessmen: The magnetic chessmen follow the standard chess design, and sit upon green magnetic bases. The white pieces have circular bases and a smooth texture, while the black pieces have square bases and a rough texture. The differentiation in texture paired with the shape of the bases allow the players to easily distinguish opponents’ pieces from their own.

  • Case: “CHESS” is found in braille and print on the exterior of the box, making it easy to locate on your shelf. The lid of the box holds captured pieces.

Specifications:

  • Size when closed: 9 in by 8 in by 1.5 in.
