Which chess board is right for you?

For playing at home

A wooden board is an elegant and pleasant option for relaxed games, study, decoration or as a gift.

For schools and after-school activities

Plastic boards are more practical for frequent use: affordable, resistant, lightweight and easy to store.

For teachers and instructors

A demonstration board makes it possible to explain positions, solve exercises and teach moves to a group without everyone having to look at the same small board.

For clubs and tournaments

It is best to choose boards that are resistant, comfortable and easy to set up. Plastic boards are very practical; wooden boards offer a better presentation.

How to choose the board size

The size of the board should be related to the size of the pieces. As a general reference, the pieces should fit comfortably inside each square, without looking too crowded or too small.

For standard club-size pieces, boards with wide and comfortable squares usually work well. For small pieces, travel use or limited spaces, more compact boards are better. If you are unsure, contact us with the king height or the size of the pieces you want to use.

Frequently asked questions about chess boards

Which board is best for wooden pieces?

A wooden board usually combines better with wooden pieces, both aesthetically and in terms of presentation. It is important to choose a size that suits the pieces.

Which board is best for schools?

For schools we recommend plastic or roll-up boards, because they are light, affordable, resistant and easy to store.

What is a demonstration board used for?

It is used to explain positions, exercises, openings or checkmates in front of a group. It is very useful for teachers, instructors and clubs.

Can I buy the board and pieces separately?

Yes. You can buy the board and pieces separately, but you should make sure the square size is suitable for the pieces. If you prefer to avoid doubts, you can choose a complete set.

What square size do I need?

It depends on the height and base of the pieces. Large pieces need wider squares; small pieces need more compact boards. If you are unsure, contact us before buying.
