Choosing the right board size
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.
Traditional wooden chess sets
| King height | King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|---|
| 7,3 to 7,6 cm | 3,8 cm | 4,7 to 5,1 cm |
| 9,5 to 9,8 cm | 4,4 cm | 5,7 to 6 cm |
| 10,1 cm | 4,1 to 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm and above | 4,4 cm | 6,3 to 7 cm |
Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 to 2,4 cm | 2,8 to 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 to 2,9 cm | 3,5 to 4 cm |
| 3 to 3,4 cm | 4,3 to 5 cm |
| 3,5 to 3,9 cm | 4,8 to 6,2 cm |
| 4 to 4,5 cm | 6 to 8 cm |
A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. Conversely, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
