Usually, the black squares are raised, and the black pieces are tactually
marked with either a dot or a nail sticking out of the top. They are not
sharp, so there is no worry of getting, um, nailed, so to speak. The hard
part about finding a good chess set is that most are not of the traditional
Staunton design, which, to me, makes no sense.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Hi, Luke,
I think it’s silly that the color of the raised squares and the color of the
pieces with the dot on them don’t match. Of course, I figured this out after
I started Googling accessible sets.
Thanks,
AriI

of the set you get.
All the best,
Dark.
