How to Choose Your Chess Board
Wood, leather, marble or built-in storage: the guide to finding your ideal board
Choosing by type of chess board
Precious Wood
The wooden chess board is the timeless choice: walnut, maple, rosewood, ebony. Marquetry finishes and contrasting squares for a sumptuous look and unbeatable durability.
Precious woodBuilt-in Storage
A chess board with built-in storage hides a compartment beneath the board to keep your pieces after each game. Practical, elegant and space-saving — ideal for everyday use.
With storageLeather & Faux Leather
The leather chess board rolls up or folds: ultra-light, it goes everywhere with you. Perfect for the club player who carries their equipment, or as a spare board for the office.
Leather & faux leatherChess Tables
The chess table is a piece of furniture in its own right: built-in board, storage drawers, carved legs. The decorative chess board that enhances your interior.
Chess tablesHow to size your chess board?
The size of your chess board depends on your pieces. The golden rule: measure the base of your king, add 25% — that gives you the minimum square size. A board slightly larger than the minimum always improves readability and playing enjoyment.
| King base | Minimum square | Total board | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28-32 mm | 35-40 mm | 28-32 cm | Travel, children, spare board |
| 35-40 mm | 42-48 mm | 34-38 cm | Family play, everyday use |
| 42-48 mm | 50-55 mm | 40-44 cm | Club player, amateur tournaments |
| 48-55 mm | 55-60 mm | 48-55 cm | FIDE competition, prestige board |
Expert tip: If you don't yet have chess pieces, choose a chess board with 50 mm squares — it's the most versatile size, compatible with the vast majority of Staunton sets on the market. To buy a chess board that will last decades, choose hardwoods (walnut, maple) with a marquetry veneer.
Which chess board suits your use?
♞ Regular family play
A wooden chess board of 38-44 cm with 45-50 mm squares. Choose a model with built-in storage: it's more practical and your pieces are always kept in the same place. Budget: €80 to €250.
♔ Competition & Club
A FIDE competition chess board requires 55-58 mm wooden squares, with a clear contrast (usually boxwood/rosewood or maple/walnut). Our precious wood chess boards offer the quality required for official tournaments.
🎁 Gift & Decoration
For a gift chess board, marble models or those with Florentine marquetry make a spectacular impression. Chess tables make an exceptional gift for a lover of fine furniture and games of strategy.
🏢 Office & Travel
The leather chess board slips into a bag and sets up in seconds. For an office chess board, a compact 30-35 cm wooden model with storage is perfect. Travelling players will also appreciate our folding travel chess sets.
