Check the fit in a few holes, then file more as needed. Just be careful not to over do it, as you don't want the pieces flopping around.It is a bother to have to do this, no doubt, but it only takes about 20 minutes total, and it is well worth it, and you can pay 4 times this price for a blind chess set.Lastly, there is a large community of blind chess players out there, a quick google search will lead one to all kinds of info and sites, where friendly people play online and discuss chess. My name is Che Martin, look me up if you play.Have fun! ### ⭐⭐ Very disappointed and dissatisfied in this product *by A***R on October 20, 2022* The media could not be loaded. The pieces are cheap plastic and one of the pawns is missing the foot at the bottom that holds the piece to the board. Also, the wholes on the board are too small so the pieces are hard to set in and hard to get them out. I will drill them with a bigger drill bit to fix the problem but for the price I paid I would expect nothing fancy, but in proper working condition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, a good buy for the price, and I would definitely recommend it for people...unless they are frequent players. *by C***S on August 25, 2016* I love Ches, and I was really excited when I saw a more affordable version of the blind-friendly Chess game. It works well enough. It can be slightly tricky to distinguish the difference between some of the pieces as a few of them feel fairly similar to each other, particularly if you're not used to this particular make. As I said, though, it works well enough, particularly as a travel set, which isn't necessarily meant to be used regularly. For an accessible version of Chess, this does, in some ways, live up to its price as I can already see it starting to fall apart, and I've only played Chess with it maybe three or four times. The other thing that doesn't help is that some of the pieces really wedge themselves into different holes in the squares and refuse to come out, so that, I'm sure, doesn't help with the maintenance. HahaOverall, a good buy for the price, and I would definitely recommend it for people, but if you're a frequent player of the game, invest in a decently made, most probably more expensive board and pieces. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/42818852-travel-chess-set-for-the-blind-or-those-with-low](https://www.desertcart.it/products/42818852-travel-chess-set-for-the-blind-or-those-with-low) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
