Eight squares of 55mm make a playing grid 44cm wide, which leaves roughly 4.5cm of timber around the outside of the play. Fifty five millimetres is the square size most club players end up on, so this is a full sized playing surface rather than a display object that happens to be chequered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark squares are sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo), the Indian timber also sold as golden rosewood, against maple (Acer oblongum) on the light. Sheesham is the warm one: a golden brown with open, visible grain that stays legible across a square instead of flattening into a single dark tone. Under a gloss surface that grain gains depth rather than losing it, which is the whole argument for finishing this timber this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe section is 22.86mm and the board weighs 4,500g, so it sits well proud of a table and stays where it is put.

Height is what you notice from across a room; base width is what has to share a square with its neighbours. On these 55mm squares the sensible target is a king base of 40mm to 45mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportion behind that is worth doing rather than taking on trust. A base covering about three quarters of its square leaves a clean margin of timber all round, and three quarters of 55mm is roughly 41mm, which sits at the foot of the window. Push to 45mm and the back rank fills handsomely, with only a few millimetres of timber showing between neighbouring feet in the opening. Drop much below 40mm and a full army starts to look undersized against 44cm of playing grid, particularly once material has come off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighted club patterns with a king somewhere between 95mm and 105mm are the natural pairing.

Sets of the same height frequently foot two or three millimetres narrower than that, which is entirely fine here, so read the base figure on the set rather than the king height before pairing the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Ps7yAl2Pwx\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Ps7yAl2Pwx\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Ps7yAl2Pwx page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eWhat a gloss surface does to sheesham\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Ps7yAl2Pwx     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGloss is not decoration on a timber board. It is a surface treatment that changes how the grain reads, and on an open grained timber like sheesham it changes it considerably. Sheesham carries visible figure that runs and lifts across a 55mm square rather than sitting flat, and a shiny surface throws light down into that figure instead of scattering it off the top. The dark squares end up with real depth in them, closer to how the timber looks freshly cut than to how a dry matte surface looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also sharpens the boundary between the two timbers. Maple under gloss reads brighter and cleaner than maple under a matte surface, so the chequer separates a little more emphatically even though neither timber has changed. On a golden brown board, where the contrast is warm rather than absolute, that extra separation is doing useful work at a seated distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest other half is that gloss shows what matte hides. Fingerprints, dust and the smear left by a hand resting on the edge are all more visible, and a lamp or a window sitting directly above the table will put a reflection on the surface that a matte board would have absorbed. Neither is hard to live with, but both are worth knowing before choosing a finish rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Ps7yAl2Pwx  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Open grain of sheesham beside pale maple across the 55mm squares\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/sheesham_solid_wood_maple_wooden_chess_board_21_5.jpg?v=1788336262\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Ps7yAl2Pwx\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Cl2qKb1Dzv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Cl2qKb1Dzv page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eLiving with sheesham, and looking after it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Cl2qKb1Dzv     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheesham is one of the most widely used timbers in traditional Indian board making, and there is a reason it keeps turning up. It is dense enough to take a fine edge on a square, stable enough not to move much with the seasons, and it carries far more visible character than a near black timber does. What it gives up is absolute contrast: golden brown against cream is a gentler chequer than black against cream, and a crowded middlegame resolves a fraction more slowly across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour is the other thing to plan for. Like most warm timbers it responds to light over years rather than months, deepening and settling rather than fading. Keeping the board out of direct sun slows that considerably and is the single most useful thing an owner can do for it, particularly on a gloss surface where the colour is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare beyond that is undemanding. Wipe the playing surface with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and dry it straight away, keep drinks off it entirely, and keep the board clear of heaters and vents. Store it flat rather than leaning on an edge. As with any handmade item the finished weight can vary by up to 10 percent either way, and the figure in the timber will be particular to the board that arrives rather than a match for the photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Pt2qFv7Dia\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Pt2qFv7Dia\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Pt2qFv7Dia page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eOur expert take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Pt2qFv7Dia     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason to look at this one is the combination of a club standard square size with more section than that usually attracts: 22.86mm and 4,500g under 55mm squares gives a surface that does not move in play and has a visible edge to it, and the gloss puts genuine depth into sheesham that a matte finish leaves flat. The caveat is that same finish read from the other side, because gloss shows fingerprints and dust that matte hides and it will pick up a reflection from a light sitting directly over the table, so it wants a considered spot rather than any spot. Sheesham against maple is also a warm contrast rather than an absolute one, so anyone who wants a position to resolve instantly from across a room should be looking at a near black board instead. It suits a player pairing it with a weighted club set in the low to middle forties at the base, and anyone who wants a board that is worth looking at when nobody is playing. If you want the same build in a darker timber, the Indian rosewood version of this board is the direct alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-expert-signature\"\u003e- Blake Sterling, CEO \u0026amp; Founder, Sterling Chess\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Pt2qFv7Dia  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The 22.86mm edge of the hi-gloss sheesham and maple chess board\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/sheesham_solid_wood_maple_wooden_chess_board_21_7.jpg?v=1788336262\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Pt2qFv7Dia\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Yp8oCk3Ckb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Wc1cZt3Dfu\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Wc1cZt3Dfu\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Hv4aOt1Zkx\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Hv4aOt1Zkx page-crafter-accordian-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAre chess pieces included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is the board on its own, which is the point of buying a board separately.
