A suggestion: when developers post a game to this site they might also
include instructions on how to create a real-world model. Keeping in mind
that many may not have the funds to spend on expensive materials, and such
should be easily obtained.
I have found a nice source. The Dollar Store carries both Chess and
Checker sets(for just a dollar). I obtained a number of these for use when
creating games. A little cutting and pasting makes for practical any size
field(as long as it utilizes square cells).
And as stated in a previous message, pieces can be marked to differentiate
them. Checkers make excellent foundations for the application of letters
and symbols. Graphics supplied with Zillions addons can be printed out for
this purpose(if the designer has no problem with this application).
I wholeheartedly give my permission for anyone who wishes to use my
graphics in their personal games. Of course, if they intend to use them
for commercial purposes we will need to talk. ;-)
