Enjoy the timeless strategy of chess with the Wooden Full Sized Tactile Chess Set, designed for players who are blind, have low vision, or are sighted. This elegant, full-sized wooden chess set combines tactile features with contrasting colors to make the game accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

The 9″ x 13″ wooden chessboard features beautifully hand-painted black and white squares with bright, contrasting colors. The black squares are raised, allowing players to identify the board’s layout by touch. Each square has a center hole that securely holds the peg at the bottom of each chess piece, helping prevent pieces from being accidentally knocked over during play.

For easy identification, every white chess piece has a large raised dot on top, allowing blind and low-vision players to distinguish their pieces from their opponent’s. Two capture rooms at the ends of the board provide convenient spaces to store captured pieces and keep the game organized.
