Matching Guide
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

| 10,1 cm | 4,1 à 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets
| 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 |

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.
