YELLOW TEAM (Laura Alonso, Irene Moreno, Raúl Moreno, Pablo Moreno, Álvaro Orden and Raquel Pobre)
1. Description of the problem Building a chessboard measuring 28cm×28cm. The chessboard must be built with chipboard. You can add legs, edges…
2. Searching for information Chessboards generally have a square shape, formed by 64 squares, which are usually white and black, distributed in eight columns and eight rows. The consecutive combinations of squares of the same colour are called diagonals and there are eight in each colour. It is usually made of wood or plastic, but a big variety of materials can be used such as iron, marble, ivory, glass or metal.

4.3. Operation Sheet Step 1: We measure and draw the chessboard on the chipboard. Step 2: We grip the piece with the clamp to cut it with the handsaw afterwards. Step 3: We grip the piece with the vice, then we reduce the width of the wood using the rasp. Step 4: We remove the splinters of the chessboard using the file. Step 5: We finish the chessboard using the sandpaper. Step 6: We cut four pieces of chipboard to make the legs. Step 7: We repeat the previous process with the legs: reduce them with the rasp, file them with the file and sand them with the sandpaper. Step 8: We draw a smaller square in the square that we had drawn previously. Step9: We paint the structure of the chessboard, in other words, the legs and the chessboard are covered with the black felt-tip pen. Step 10: We do a thin white line that separates the edges of the squares of the chessboard. Step 11: We get ready to paint the squares of the chessboard alternating the colours white and black. Step 12: We paint the word “ajedrez�, distributing its letters among some white squares of the chessboard. Step 13: Finally, we paste with hot melt adhesive the legs to the board.
