Is there a checkerboard in Alice in Wonderland?

Answer 1

In Lewis Carroll's second Alice book, Through the Looking-Glass, the Looking-glass world is set out like a giant Chess board. The characters represent chess pieces; Alice starts out as a pawn, and the action in the story emulates the moves of a real chess game.

Answer 2

Yes, there is a famous scene in "Alice in Wonderland" where Alice encounters the Mad Hatter and the March Hare having a tea party on a checkerboard-patterned tablecloth. The checkerboard is a recurring motif in the story, symbolizing the topsy-turvy and nonsensical nature of Wonderland.
