Chess Bazaar Black Anigre & Maple Deluxe Borderless Chess Board

Chess Bazaar is known for making some of the best chess boards in the world… and this deluxe borderless model shows why. 

The black anigre and maple squares create a beautiful contrast with a classic black & white look. 

The veneer construction makes it lighter so it’s simple to move or store without taking away from the overall quality. 

And the borderless design adds a unique open layout that removes visual clutter. 

All these elements come together to create a minimalist but still visually appealing board.

Black anigre & maple borderless construction

This chessboard uses black anigre and maple to pair strength with a clean, simple design.

Black anigre gives the board rich, dark squares that look sharp and hold their depth without any glossy distraction.

And maple adds reliable durability so the surface can handle bumps, wear and the usual marks from regular use.

The contrast between the two woods brings out the natural beauty of each square… giving the board a smooth look.

Minimalist borderless design

The borderless layout keeps the board clean and avoids visual distractions.

Also, because there are no raised edges, the pieces can slide without getting stuck or slowing you down.

This setup makes it easy to see everything, execute your strategy and handle the board during long games.

Crafted to the highest standards by artisans

When you pick up a Chess Bazaar chess board, you instantly feel the difference. 

Craftsmen make each one by hand, carefully shaping, smoothing, and finishing it.

Because real people make every cut instead of machines, the wood grain looks clean and natural.

And because it’s built to last, it works for everyday use but it also looks good on a shelf or table as a display piece.

A Chess Bazaar board turns every match into a memorable experience… and it's now available to Australian players.

Frequently asked questions

What size pieces fit this board best?

This board works well with king bases between 45 and 52mm. That sizing keeps the pieces stable on the 60mm squares and gives you a balanced setup without crowding.

Is the board heavy to move or store?

It weighs around 2.25 kg, which feels solid on the table but still easy to lift and pack away. The weight can vary slightly because each board is handmade.

Does the matte finish mark easily during use?

The matte surface handles regular use well. It keeps reflections low and doesn’t show fingerprints the way glossy finishes can.

Is the wood real or is it synthetic?

It uses black anigre and maple veneer on a stable base. Veneered boards stay durable for years, hold their shape and keep the grain looking clean.

Will the board warp over time?

The veneered construction helps prevent warping. It stays flat and steady as long as it’s stored in normal indoor conditions.

Does the borderless design affect gameplay?

No. It creates a clear and open surface while keeping the board stable. You get full visibility with nothing blocking your view of the edges.

Is this handmade or machine produced?

Each board is handcrafted in Spain, so the shaping and finishing are done by skilled makers. This gives every board a consistent and clean feel.

Can this board be used for tournament practice?

Yes. The 60mm squares and overall size match common standards, so it’s suitable for serious practice at home.

Does it come with chess pieces?

No, it includes the board only. This lets you pair it with your preferred set for the look and feel you want.

Is this board suitable as a display piece?

Yes. The black anigre and maple contrast looks sharp on a table or shelf, so it works for play and display without needing anything extra.
