Description from the seller
This chess set is the smallest version of the Indy chess sets. The pieces of a unique design are fully hand-crafted and made from cherry tree wood. The folding chessboard has two compartments finished with felt lining for the chess pieces inside.
Decorative metal clasps keep the board securely locked after play. It has a superb classic design in combination with unique patterns that will provide decades of great chess playing.
Beech and birch wood boards are embellished through a traditional technique of burning patterns and designs in the wood.
Number and letter algebraic coordinates adorn the borders. Decorative metal clasps keep the board securely locked after play.
The simplest and most widely used form of chess notation is the algebraic notation. The edges of the chessboard are marked with letters and numbers.
Chess notation is an easy way to record your games so that you can play them back to study tactics, understand mistakes, or impress your friends. Give the notation a try in your next game – you will see that there is nothing more pleasant than the eye-catching exclamation mark behind the move that wins the game.
Much research has already been done into the benefits of chess for the brains of children. This showed, among other things, that children playing chess perform better at school when it comes to skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, math skills, spatial awareness, and concentration.
