Wooden chess set comprising an alphanumeric wooden chess board, paired with chess pieces in Acacia and Boxwood. Designed with great care, this set embodies the perfect balance for beginners between simplicity and timeless elegance.
The chess board, crafted from walnut and maple wood, combines natural beauty with alphanumeric functionality. With dimensions of 48 x 48 cm, every game becomes a captivating playing experience.
The chess pieces, precisely shaped from boxwood and acacia wood, add a touch of authenticity to every game. With a king height of 9 cm, these pieces embody the traditional Staunton style. The felt base ensures smooth movement while protecting your chess board.
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.

| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 cm |
| 3 à 3,4 cm | 4,3 à 5 cm |
| 3,5 à 3,9 cm | 4,8 à 6,2 cm |
| 4 à 4,5 cm | 6 à 8 cm |
A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
