Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, existing oversized chess games are not easily portable.
Nor are they easily storable.
These materials are heavy and bulky.
Therefore, the game is unnecessarily difficult to transport, store, and play.
These materials are also quite expensive, making the game relatively expensive.
Further, the rigid oversized game pieces are less than ideal from the perspective of safety.
