It is 43cm across with 45mm squares, sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) on the dark side against maple (Acer oblongum) on the light.

Also sold as golden rosewood, it runs a golden brown with open, visible grain, and against pale maple it makes a chequer that is clearly legible without being stark.

Two sets standing at the same height can differ by eight or ten millimetres at the foot, and the foot is the part that has to share a square. On 45mm squares the useful target is a king base of roughly 30mm to 38mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportion behind that is worth knowing 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 45mm is roughly 34mm, which is the middle of the window. Towards 38mm the back rank fills tightly, with only a few millimetres between neighbouring feet. Much below 30mm and the army looks small against 36cm of playing grid, particularly once material has come off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact reproduction and analysis patterns are the natural pairing.

It keeps bare timber off a polished dining table, so the board can be put down anywhere without a mat or a cloth underneath it. It stops the board travelling on a smooth surface when a player leans on the table. And it takes the hard click out of each move, because the sound of a piece set down firmly has nothing rigid underneath to ring against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a fourth benefit that only shows up over years. Felt keeps a small air gap between the board and the surface it stands on, which means moisture trapped under a board on a cold table has somewhere to go instead of sitting against the timber. On a board meant to live out permanently, that is quietly useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth checking the felt occasionally and keeping it dry. A soft brush lifts dust out of the pile, and the board should be stored flat rather than leaning on an edge so the velvet is not crushed in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Me8wQz7Qaj  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Green velvet felt covering the underside of the 43cm sheesham chess board\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/wooden_chess_board_sheesham_wood_333.jpg?v=1788256758\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Me8wQz7Qaj\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Hf1gFj8Vcn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Hf1gFj8Vcn page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eWhere a 43cm board earns its place\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Hf1gFj8Vcn     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the board for a room with no spare room. At 43cm square it sits on a coffee table, a side table or the corner of a desk, and on a dining table it leaves generous space either side for captured material and a clock. At 3,000g it is still light enough to lift with one hand and stand on a shelf when the game is finished, which a heavier board of the same size would not be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the size that works for a household where the board is shared. Children can reach across it, it does not dominate a table when a meal needs the space back, and 45mm squares are large enough to handle comfortably without being so large that a compact set looks lost on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is undemanding. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and vents, wipe the playing surface with a dry or barely damp soft cloth, and do not stand glasses on it. Store it flat rather than on edge. 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 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-Wc5vWg0Oky\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Wc5vWg0Oky\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Wc5vWg0Oky page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eOur expert take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Wc5vWg0Oky     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case for this one is that it puts a genuine 22mm timber board with a felted underside at a compact 43cm, which is a better build than a footprint this size usually attracts and a straightforward way into a real board without a large table or a large outlay. The honest caveat is contrast: sheesham against maple is a golden brown against cream, not black against white, so a crowded middlegame separates less emphatically across a room than it would on an ebony board, and anyone who values maximum legibility above warmth should look at the ebony board at the same square size instead. It suits a home player short of space, a family board that lives on a coffee table, and anyone pairing it with a compact set in the low thirties at the base. It is not the board for a full tournament set, which will crowd these 45mm squares.\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-Wc5vWg0Oky  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Close detail of golden brown sheesham beside maple on the 45mm squares\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/wooden_chess_board_sheesham_wood_5__2.jpg?v=1788256758\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Wc5vWg0Oky\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Pn6zMu8Yzc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Gq9xVw1Fdm\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Gq9xVw1Fdm\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Qa4qZd1Ayl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Qa4qZd1Ayl 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.
