Hi, my opinion is that the Italian chess sets is the best quality and I'm 
contemplating aquiring both their desktop and travel sets.  Unfortunately I 
cannot speak the lingo but have contact with one of their Braille chess 
players who might be able to help.
Perhaps you also know people there?

Hello, all,

Does anyone know where, on the internet or elsewhere, I could find a very 
nice chess set designed for blind users?  I found one at Maxiaids but it is 
plastic, and I bought one from a Canadian internet company called 
FutureAids, but, though the chess board was nice wood, the peg on the 
underside of each piece was not quite long enough to keep the pieces from 
tipping over or at least wobbling freely when touched, and the queens could 
not be told apart by touch.
I have an accessible travel chess set, but I'd really like a nice larger 
accessible chess set.
Does anyone know of any?

Thanks
Allen
