I had this problem with our cats too. My solution was to bring out a larger
set and make sure there was a carpet on the floor. The pieces get knocked
over less often and are easy to find as they are too heavy to be batted
around.

You might also try covering the set with a large piece of aluminum foil. I
have read that cats don't like the feel of stepping on it.

Anyone know of a chess board and set with a cover?It would have to be
a
Staunton,or traditional tournament style,but the pieces could be
smaller.The
cover would prevent the f*****g cat from knocking my pieces all over the
place.I could leave a position set up,and be able to come back to it later
and
study the position,instead of having to look all over the house for the
missing
piece.
