Here is a chess board created, following numerous requests from our customers, made to measure by our craftsman, to hold large chess pieces such as our wooden Val Gardena Alpine chess sets.
The playing surface is made from maple wood with black and white squares, and its border is crafted from rosewood burl, featuring a lacquered finish that highlights the grain of the wood for a beautiful visual effect.
It can accommodate large chess pieces (king base of more than 4 cm)
A chess board with plenty of fine detailing that will pair perfectly with large wooden or metal chess pieces.
This chess board is available in four sizes (see drop-down menu).
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.

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.
