Daniel Young, a New York-based inventor / designer...discovered that simply by cutting slits into the fluting of corrugated board he could harness its extraordinary capacity to hold and release inserted flat objects, like chess or checkers pieces. Young's first invention, New Wave ^TM Chess (patent pending), can practically be played in a hurricane without the pieces leaving position.Welcome to the world of extreme chess, where players can literally "Frisbee" the 3-ounce 9-inch square New Wave Chess board across the room without disturbing the position of the pieces...Another inventive feature transforms checker piece into kings by simple rotation. New Wave Chess comes with a carrying case and pouches for the pieces.
