Having a wooden chess board, a magnetic board and a small travel size chess board, it was time to try another chess board material: felt. This homemade chess board is made with blue and white felt. All chess pieces were hand cut by John. Now a chess game is just a moment's away as I, Brogan, move the chess pieces on the felt chess board hung on my bedroom wall.
