By cyberfriend Mike Layfield, who also has his own applet and animated rulebook.

He also sells a handsome Hexes Chess portable game set from his Web site: Hexes Games http://www.hexesgames.com/.
The Hexes Chess game set includes:

padded carring case with adjustable shoulder strap

flexible vinyl game mat

tournament quality chess pieces with drawstring pouches

rulesheet and notation guide

These are simple illustrations rather than strong opponents. Bug reports? -- Thank you! Keep them coming!
