Claims3
A gameboard for chess or checkers having an obverse side comprising a conventional checkerboard grid of square spaces, alternately colored in a checkered pattern, each row of said grid consisting of 8 said square spaces, the rows being in stepped configuration with the 2 outermost rows being at the lowest level, and each successively more inward row being raised an additional level from the preceding row, so that the centermost 2 rows are highest, said gameboard further having a reverse side comprising a grid identical to that on the obverse side in size and coloration but wherein successively more inward rows are lowered one additional level from that of the preceding row so that the centermost 2 rows are lowest, the elevations on the obverse side thereby corresponding to depressions on the reverse side.
