The Averbakh proportions are the interesting part: a 105mm king on a 39mm base with a level 76mm officer rank gives a board that looks distinctly Soviet next to an English Staunton, and the broad bases make it genuinely stable to play on. Pairing it with a 55mm board is the right call over the 50mm the pieces are documented against, because a set this tall needs the room. Two things to weigh. Ebonised is a surface treatment, not ebony heartwood, so the high points can lighten after many years of handling. And the level bishop and knight remove a height cue, which is a real adjustment if you read positions partly by piece height. Neither is a fault, but both are worth knowing before it arrives.\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-Ft1dMz1Wgi  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Ebonised Averbakh pieces set up on the included 55cm poplar and erable board\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/13_9f4daa23-1953-4365-8e8b-3a2a25683cb5.jpg?v=1787469255\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Ft1dMz1Wgi\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Up1pAv0Sik\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Fm0oAz5Ghs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Fm0oAz5Ghs\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Sw7qDv1Fns\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Sw7qDv1Fns page-crafter-accordian-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size is the board?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e55cm x 55cm with 55mm squares, 13mm thick and around 3,044g, in black dyed poplar and white erable with a matte finish.
