Ebony (Diospyros ebenum) is the dark timber most people picture when they think of a serious chess board, and it is usually found on large ones. This is 45.7cm across, which puts it on a coffee table, a desk corner or a dining table with room left over on every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light squares are maple (Acer oblongum), pale and close grained, and against near black ebony the contrast is about as hard as timber gets. Squares are 45mm, so eight of them make a playing grid 36cm across with roughly 4.8cm of board around the outside. At 22mm in section this is a proper timber playing surface rather than something that folds or rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 3,000g, enough to keep it planted without making it awkward to move, and it wants a set with a base in the low to middle thirties rather than a full sized tournament pattern.

It adds a sheesham border around the play, which the board here does not have, and it is built lighter at 15mm through and 2,100g. This one is 22mm and 3,000g, so the trade between them is a framed edge on one side against a deeper, heavier surface on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the compact boards that come bundled underneath a set, this is a different proposition. Those are cut thin to keep a package light. Twenty two millimetres on a 45.7cm board is more section than that footprint usually carries, which is what you feel when you set a piece down on it rather than something you can see in a photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Oz1hHm2Ilx  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The 45.7cm ebony and maple chess board viewed from one corner\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/ebony_chessboard_18_2.jpg?v=1788256366\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Oz1hHm2Ilx\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Hc0aIt8Pvz\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Hc0aIt8Pvz page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eChoosing the right pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Hc0aIt8Pvz     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase diameter is the number that decides the fit, not the height of the king. Two sets standing at the same height often differ by eight or ten millimetres at the foot, and the foot is what has to share the square. On 45mm squares the sensible target is a king base somewhere between about 30mm and 38mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reasoning is proportional and worth doing rather than taking on trust. A base covering roughly three quarters of its square leaves a clear margin of timber all round, and three quarters of 45mm is about 34mm. That is the middle of the useful window. Push towards 38mm and the back rank fills handsomely but tightly, with only a few millimetres showing between neighbouring feet. Drop much below 30mm and the army starts to look small against 36cm of playing grid, particularly late in a game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact reproduction and analysis patterns are the natural match.

Diospyros ebenum is a dense, close grained timber that runs genuinely near black rather than dark brown, with very little visible figure in it. Ebonised timber, which is a lighter species dyed dark, reads similarly in a photograph and differently in the hand, and the two age in opposite directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat that flatness gives you is legibility. With almost no grain to look at in the dark squares, the eye reads the position rather than the surface, and against pale maple the chequer separates instantly even in poor light or at an angle. A rosewood board keeps more warmth and more to look at; an ebony board keeps the game in front of you and gets out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a compact board that argument carries extra weight. At 45mm squares the pieces sit closer together than they would on a full sized surface, so anything that helps a crowded middlegame resolve at a glance is doing real work rather than decorative work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Nt6bQz6Pvt  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Close detail of ebony against maple on the 45mm playing squares\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/ebony_chessboard_18_4.jpg?v=1788256366\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Nt6bQz6Pvt\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Fu7vPf5Dfb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Fu7vPf5Dfb page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eWhere a 45.7cm board earns its place\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Fu7vPf5Dfb     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the size that solves the room problem. A 45.7cm board sits comfortably on a coffee table, on the corner of a desk or at one end of a dining table, and it leaves space beside it for captured material and a clock without either player leaning. Anyone who has tried to find a permanent home for a 58cm board will understand the appeal immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 3,000g it has real weight for its size, so it stays where it is put on a stable surface and does not need anything underneath it to stop it sliding. It is still light enough to lift with one hand and stand on a shelf when the game is over, which is the balance a board this size ought to strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is undemanding. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and vents, wipe it with a dry or barely damp soft cloth, and do not stand glasses on the playing area. Store it flat rather than leaning against a wall. As with any handmade item the finished weight can vary by up to 10 percent either way, and the grain on the board that arrives will be its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Mc9bFw6Evv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Mc9bFw6Evv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Mc9bFw6Evv page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eOur expert take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Mc9bFw6Evv     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strength here is the timber at the size. Genuine ebony against maple gives the hardest contrast available in wood, and getting it on a 45.7cm board at 22mm of section means a compact surface that still feels like a real board rather than a scaled down one. The caveat is the square size, and it is the first thing to check: 45mm squares cap the king base at around 38mm, so a full tournament set footing at 40mm or more will crowd this back rank and belongs on a larger board. It suits a player working with limited table space who would rather spend on materials than on footprint, and it suits anyone pairing it with a compact reproduction pattern in the low thirties at the base. If you want the same timbers with a framed edge, the 43cm ebony board with a sheesham border is the closest 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-Mc9bFw6Evv  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The 22mm edge of the ebony and maple 45.7cm chess board\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/ebony_chessboard_18_11_copy.jpg?v=1788256366\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Mc9bFw6Evv\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Ck1gAk9Ekc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Lp9kTy4Qpr\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Lp9kTy4Qpr\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Mg8cAx5Onc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Mg8cAx5Onc 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.
