Some of the features are: enlarge and shrink board with fingertip push/pull, large selection for quantity of pieces, side board with four compartments to group pieces by color, push a button to arrange pieces around the frame as many times as desired, varied background selections, choice to work only with edge pieces, plus more options and, best of all, no advertisements.”
