Neither.

See: http://www.freewebs.com/raininmysoup/chesstile.html

The face of the tile is 5x5 with no interior studs. The backside has tubes and “pits.” The edges do not have a lip, or groove for fingernail gripping -- they are flat down the sides. If such a tile were to be placed *centered*, or away from the edges, on a large 8x8 TLC brick (an inflexible surface) one would have some difficulty getting the tile back off again.

Thanks for the scan. Weird. MEGA BLOKS doesn’t usually seem to favor the cluster of tubes on the undersides of plates, as in the 6x8 or 8x8. The yellow Power Ranger set has a 4x4 tile with the lip/edge and tube configuration of example A, so I figured that the Dragons/chess plate would be similar. I’ll correct the datfile.

Thanks again.

Dave!
