“I purchased this as a gift for a friend of mine that was in the hospital going through a very tough time in their life. Really, only one or two members of the family had prior experience with playing chess. This product is so intuative, that it assisted with bringing the family even closer during these difficult times. It cannot be understated how beneficial it was with assisting one of them who is a visual learner ... infact frustrating the person on the other side of the board because they were quickly learning their various options now. I will be purchasing this product for my family now.”
