Description

Dal Rossi Palisander & Maple Chess Board

This is a board for players who want a warmer, richer look. The Dal Rossi Palisander & Maple Chess Board pairs deep palisander rosewood with light, lustrous maple for a refined, high-contrast surface that plays clearly and looks the part on display. It comes in two sizes, 40cm and 50cm, so you can match it to your pieces and your space. Explore the full Dal Rossi range for more from the brand.

The squares are inlaid, not printed. Each dark and light square is set into the board from solid timber, which gives the surface real depth and a finish that holds up over years of play rather than wearing thin like a printed pattern. Every Dal Rossi board in this range is made the same way, with genuine inlaid timber.

The surface is smooth and polished, so pieces glide cleanly and the board sits well whether it is set up for a game or left out as a centrepiece. This is a board sold on its own, ready to pair with the pieces of your choice.

 Dal Rossi Palisander & Maple Chess Board

  • Solid construction, not a folding board

  • Doubles as a display piece when it is not in play
  • Sold as a board only, ready to pair with your own pieces

How this Dal Rossi board compares to other wood boards

Many affordable boards use a printed or veneer-look surface that can appear flat and wear over time. This Dal Rossi board is built from inlaid solid timber, so the contrast between the palisander and maple comes from the wood itself and enriches the look of any set placed on it.

It sits as a considered, mid-range wood board: more refined than an entry-level printed board, without the price of a luxury cabinet piece. The palisander rosewood gives it a warmer, more traditional tone than a black or mahogany board. If you want to see other timber and size options, browse our full chess boards collection or the wider wood chess boards range.

Inlaid timber that lasts

Inlay is the difference you feel as much as see. Because each square is set from solid timber, the surface has a subtle depth that a printed board cannot match, and the finish resists the scuffs and fading that come with regular use. The result is a board that looks as good in its fifth year as its first.

Choosing the right pieces

This board is sold without pieces, so you can match it to a set you already own or pair it with something new. The 40cm board has 40mm squares, which suit smaller Staunton pieces with a king height around 70mm to 76mm (roughly 2.75" to 3"). The 50cm board has 50mm squares, which suit larger pieces with a king height around 90mm to 95mm (roughly 3.5" to 3.75"). As a rule of thumb, aim for a king base that covers about three quarters of a square. Browse our full chess pieces collection to find a match.

Our expert take

“Dal Rossi get the fundamentals right with this one: the inlaid palisander and maple give a genuine timber contrast with a warm, traditional feel that printed boards just cannot match, and the polished finish feels good under the pieces. We would point most players to the 50cm for a full-size set and the 40cm where space is tighter or the pieces are smaller. It is a board we are happy to pair with mid-range and premium sets alike”.

- Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Sterling Chess

Frequently asked questions
Does this board come with chess pieces?

No. This is a board only, so you can pair it with pieces you already own or a new set. Browse our chess pieces collection to find a suitable match.

Is the board inlaid or printed?

It is inlaid. The dark and light squares are set from solid timber, which gives the surface depth and durability that a printed board cannot match.

What size pieces suit each board?

The 40cm board has 40mm squares and suits pieces with a king height around 70mm to 76mm. The 50cm board has 50mm squares and suits pieces with a king height around 90mm to 95mm. A king base that covers about three quarters of a square is the sweet spot.

Is this a folding board?

No. It is a solid, non-folding board with a smooth, polished surface.

How do I care for the board?

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and keep it out of direct sunlight and damp conditions. Avoid dragging pieces across the surface to keep the finish in good order.
