Checkmate (Noughts And Crosses)

Product Information

Cozio’s Mate is also known as the Dovetail Mate since the arrangement of the pieces visually resemble a dove’s tail. When a stalemate occurs, the game is considered drawn and both players receive half a point (1/2-1/2) The edge of the board secures part of the king’s retreat and the queen cuts off the rest. Opera Mate Felix feels like he’s permanently in trouble at school. Everyone keeps telling him to try harder, but it’s just not that simple. His mind is constantly changing direction, making it impossible to concentrate, and no-one gets how frustrating it is.
