Chess puzzle board and pieces

A chess puzzle board is provided and consists of a plurality of differently formed sections each having a plurality of squares with alternating hook and loop pile fastener material to represent white and black designated squares. The sections can be combined when placed onto a loop pile fastener material area of a base member for forming a chess board pattern thereto. The chess playing pieces contain both hook and loop pile fastener material on the bottom so that they can be secured to any assigned square on the board during the play of the game.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
The instant invention relates generally to game boards and more 
specifically it relates to a chess puzzle board. 
Numerous games boards have been provided in prior art on which games like 
checkers and chess may be played and which the games boards are sectional 
to be assembled together. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 231,963; 841,366 and 
1,167,394 are all illustrative of such prior art. While these units may be 
suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they would not 
be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore 
described. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a chess puzzle 
board that will overcome the shortcomings of the prior art devices. 
Another object is to provide a chess puzzle board that is composed of a 
series of differently formed sections, each containing a plurality of 
squares which are assembled together by hook and loop pile fastener 
material. 
An additional object is to provide chess puzzle board in which the chess 
pieces contain the hook and loop pile fastener material on the bottom so 
that they can be secured to any assigned square on the board during the 
play of the game. 
A further object is to provide a chess puzzle board that is simple and easy 
to use. 
A still more further object is to provide a chess puzzle board that is 
economical in cost to manufacture. 
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds. 
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may 
be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, 
attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are 
illustrative only and that changes may be made in the specific 
construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended 
claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference 
characters denote similar elements throughout the several views FIG. 1 
illustrates a chess puzzle board 10 which contains a base member 12 that 
has a loop pile fastener material area 14 and a plurality of differently 
formed sections 16. Each of the sections 16 contain a plurality of squares 
with alternating hook and loop pile fastener material 20a and 20b to 
represent white and black designated squares 18a and 18b. The sections 16 
can be combined when placed onto the loop pile fastener material area 14 
of the base member 12 for forming a secured character board pattern 
thereto. 
As typically shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 chess playing pieces 22 such as a pawn 
(as illustrated), a rook, a knight, a king and a queen playing pieces are 
also provided. Each of the chess playing pieces 22 have both hook and loop 
pile fastener material 24a and 24b on bottom 26. Each of the chess playing 
pieces 22 can be used on both the white and the black designated squares 
18a and 18b during play of game. 
As typically shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 a pair of bishop chess playing 
pieces 28 in which only one is illustrated are also provided. One of the 
bishop chess playing pieces 28 has hook fastener material 30 on bottom 32 
while other of the bishop chess playing pieces 28 loop pile fastener 
material 34 on bottom 32. One of the bishop chess playing pieces 28 can be 
interlocked only on the white designation squares 18a. The other bishop 
chess playing piece 28 can be interlocked only on the black designation 
squares 18b during the play of the game. 
This prevents bishops in play from being inadvertently placed on the wrong 
color. 
Each of the sections 16 further has hook and loop pile fastener material 
along edges 36 so that the sections 16 can be combined together to form a 
small structure 38 independently from the base member 12 as shown in FIG. 
7. 
With this interlocking feature the instant invention to be used in a 
totally different manner to entertain small children. 
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and 
described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood 
that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details 
of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those 
skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
