Checkers Sets

A primitive form of checkers, also known as draughts, existed more than 40 centuries ago. In the 14th century the chess board was utilised and this gave rise to the term checkers, being played on a checkered board.

Google the word 'draughts' or 'checkers' and you will find lots of information on the rules and the history of this fascinating game.

The giant checkers (draughts) set is made from very durable PVC.

The giant mat (for chess or checkers) is of light weight nylon material and neatly folds into a handy bag (as pictured).
The mat is 2.65m square with individual squares of 320mm.

The 'small giant' or 'terrace' checkers set is pictured alongside the giant one

The lightweight nylon mat folds into the small bag for storage. The overall dimension of this mat is 1.43m, with individual squares of 170mm.

Chess in a tube - The set pictured on the right is the perfect tournament set for children (and adults) on the move. The set is the standard Staunton design, identical to those used in all school tournaments in Queensland and northern NSW, and comes complete with a light-weight roll-up board. The whole set fits snugly into a strongly-made cylinder.

Very well priced at $32, including GST.

If you have a child taking part in one of our school chess programmes, this set is $28, and this includes postage.
