About The Wooden Chess Set for the Blind - 3.75 inch King
Designed especially for blind players, the board has raised black squares and pieces that work well for the blind or those with very limited vision. The 15" square chess board with 1.75" squares. Large 3.75" Timeless model pieces make this set very tactile. The pieces stay in place well with pegs on the base of each piece that fit all 64 squares and keep the pieces steady and in place. Black pieces are distinguishable from the white by a peg on the top of each black piece.

Product Specs
I bought this as a gift and, almost immediately after opening it up, I decided I'd be buying another one for myself. The pieces and board are well put together and of much better quality than some others I've seen. This is worth every penny and only a blindfold away from playing an equitable game with friends having varying visual abilities.
Recommend this highly! Bought this for a patient of mine. It allowed him to re-initiate playing the game he loved before losing his vision. The set is gorgeous with recessed and raised squares, pegged pieces to secure placement, and the ability to differentiate between yours and opponent pieces. Recommend better packaging though for shipping, as 2 pieces were damaged on arrival. Able to be hot glued, but still recommend better packaging. Awesome set!
I gave it as a gift.
Well-made product, looks durable, delivered as promised.
I bought this wooden chess set for my blind son and the quality is outstanding. He will keep this set for life. The pieces are beautiful and well designed.
This is a splendid chess set!
The pieces are beautifully carved. It's easy to tell what each piece is supposed to be by touch, plus a little extra detail for flavor. No complaints in that area. The board has some nice heft to it, and a little circular fabric foot beneath each corner to avoid scratches when resting flat on a hard surface. Most of it is nice and smooth, bar the bit of grain that is to be expected. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this is common or if I just got a faulty one, but there are a few places where it is rough to the touch. The finish could've been a bit more thorough. This does not effect playability by any means, but for $120 I hoped for a bit more attention to that kind of detail.
All in all I'm satisfied. It's sturdy and should survive countless conflicts to come. Not as polished as it could be, but functional.
I have lost a light colored pawn and would like to purchase another. Can you help me?
