I remember years ago it was possible to get a sort of wallet that had
a dozen cards with chess boards printed on them, and little plastic
pieces that slotted into the boards.  They were ideal for playing
postal chess.  Does anybody remember them, and if so are the sets
still available and if so where?
Thanks for any help,
gerry
