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 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. |
