Both options are recommended for a king base of 40mm to 50mm, which on a 55mm square leaves the king covering roughly three quarters to nine tenths of the space it stands on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a wide and forgiving window, and it takes in most of the serious Staunton patterns: a 95mm to 105mm king is usually turned somewhere inside it. What it rules out are the very large luxury patterns, which are drawn for 60mm squares and will crowd their neighbours here. It also rules out compact travel sets at the other end, which look stranded on a square this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA board at this level deserves pieces at the same level, so the sets in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sterlingchess.com.au\/collections\/luxury-chess-pieces\" title=\"Luxury Chess Pieces\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eluxury chess pieces collection\u003c\/a\u003e are the natural pairing.

The playing squares are made with genuine ebony and boxwood. The frame that surrounds them is ebonised, which is to say it is finished to read as black rather than being the same dense black timber as the squares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a sensible way to build a board of this depth, and it is worth understanding rather than glossing over. Ebony is heavy, hard and expensive, and the squares are where it counts: they are the surface the pieces stand on, the part the eye reads all game, and the part that has to hold its colour for decades. The frame's job is to hold the panel and to frame the position, and an ebonised frame does that while keeping the board's mass and cost within reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxwood on the light squares is the other half of the pairing. Against maple, which is the more common light timber at this size, boxwood is creamier and shows more of its own grain, so the light squares have some character of their own instead of reading as a flat pale field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Xp2yIi8Fbo  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Green velvet felted underside of the ebony and boxwood 53cm board\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/ebony_wood_chessboard_4_copy111.jpg?v=1788256358\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Xp2yIi8Fbo\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Nq4qWj0Vwd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Nq4qWj0Vwd page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eDepth, weight and the surface underneath\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Nq4qWj0Vwd     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForty five millimetres of depth is what you notice first in person. A board that deep does not flex, does not lift at a corner, and does not slide when a piece is set down firmly, which matters more in a long game than it sounds. At 5,390g it is not something you reposition casually, so decide where it is going to live before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ebony and boxwood option is felted underneath in green velvet, which protects the table it stands on and stops the board tracking across a polished surface. Whichever option you choose, a board of this mass wants a table that can take it: a dining table, a games table or a dedicated stand rather than a light side table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is straightforward. Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat vents, both of which move timber over time, wipe it with a dry soft cloth and never stand a drink on the playing surface.

The caveat is mass: at 45mm deep and 5,390g this is a board you place once and leave, so it needs a table that suits it and it is not the right buy if the board has to be put away between games. It suits a collector or a serious player furnishing a room around the game, with a set on a 40mm to 50mm base already in hand or on the way.\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-Wo6oVe2Yqe  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Bud rosewood and maple luxury board built to 45mm deep\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/uxuryIndianHandmadeChessBoardinBudRosewood_Padauk_6.jpg?v=1788256359\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Wo6oVe2Yqe\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Sd4jYl4Coh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Rk2uIb9Qaj\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Rk2uIb9Qaj\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Bz8jLe0Goq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Bz8jLe0Goq 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, so the playing set is chosen and bought separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the frame the same ebony as the squares?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and the difference is worth knowing at this level.
