Dedicated to Those Playing Chess by Heart! While an inclusive and equal opportunity for ALL have been extensively urged and promoted in society in recent years, disabled people still face a lot of difficulties and some certain degree of exclusion in their daily lives. In recent years, Chinese chess has been commonly played not only by Chinese and Asian, but for people from countries and communities with different cultures. Chess.* is the first set of Chinese chess with an inclusive and universal concept which allows people with different vision capabilities, including blind people, to enjoy playing chess together. Its Chinese title, ?????, means playing chess in a competitive and inclusive way. Also as its English title, Chess.*, the chess is for ALL.
