Eight squares of 60mm give a playing grid 48cm across, leaving roughly 5.2cm of timber on every side of the play. This is a board to place once and leave standing, not one to clear away after an evening.\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 end of the board making palette: a golden brown with open, visible grain that keeps character in the dark squares instead of flattening into a single tone.

Ebony against maple is a harder contrast than either of these boards gives, and the choice for anyone who wants a crowded middlegame to resolve instantly from across a room.

Two sets standing at identical heights can differ by ten millimetres at the foot, and it is the foot that has to share the square with its neighbours. This board is cut for a king base of 45mm to 55mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a wide window, and the two ends of it produce genuinely different looking boards. A base covering about three quarters of its square leaves a clean margin of timber all round, and three quarters of 60mm is 45mm, which is where the range starts and where the board looks most open. At 55mm you are down to a couple of millimetres of timber either side of each foot, which fills the back rank completely and is entirely playable but reads as a densely populated opening position. Somewhere in the high forties is the safe middle if you have no strong preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a size for the tall luxury patterns rather than a standard club set.

A common 95mm tournament set will usually foot at 40mm or less and will look adrift on 48cm of playing grid, so check the base figure before pairing rather than the king height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Jc8xDv8Pyj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Jc8xDv8Pyj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Jc8xDv8Pyj page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eThe green velvet underside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Jc8xDv8Pyj     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole base of the board is covered in green velvet felt, and on a board of this weight it earns its place several times over. It keeps bare timber off a polished dining table, so the board can be set down anywhere without a mat or a cloth underneath. It stops 5,600g travelling across a smooth surface when a player leans on the table. And it takes the hard click out of each move, because a piece set down firmly has nothing rigid ringing underneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a fourth benefit that only shows over years. Felt keeps a small air gap between the board and whatever it stands on, so moisture trapped under a board on a cold table has somewhere to go rather than sitting against the timber. On a board meant to live out permanently in a room, 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. If the board does need to move between rooms, lift it rather than sliding it, which is good practice for the felt and for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Jc8xDv8Pyj  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Golden brown sheesham beside pale maple across the 60mm squares\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/wooden_chess_board_sheesham_wood_1__3.jpg?v=1788336270\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Jc8xDv8Pyj\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Tv2cXx0Gsr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Tv2cXx0Gsr page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eWhat 58.4cm asks of a room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Tv2cXx0Gsr     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the point where a board starts to make demands of the furniture. At 58.4cm square it wants a table around 1.2 metres across so both players have elbow room and there is space beside the play for captured material and a clock. On anything smaller the game runs to the table edge and somebody ends up leaning. Measuring the table is worth five minutes before ordering rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5,600g is the other thing to plan for. That is a two handed lift and a board to place once, not something to move casually at the end of an evening. What you get for it is a surface that does not shift under any circumstances: not when a move goes down hard, not when a player rests a forearm on the edge, not in the scramble at the end of a fast game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is undemanding. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which lifts colour out of warm timbers faster than anything else, and away from heaters and vents. Wipe the playing surface with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and never stand a glass on it. 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-Uc9kNf8Rln\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Uc9kNf8Rln\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Uc9kNf8Rln page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eOur expert take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Uc9kNf8Rln     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this board gets right is the pairing of a genuinely large square size with the mass to support it, since 5,600g across 58.4cm and 20mm of timber gives a surface that simply does not move, and the felted underside means it can live on a polished table without a mat under it. The caveat is that both of those figures are commitments: it wants a table around 1.2 metres across and a permanent home, and at 60mm the squares set a floor as well as a ceiling, so a standard 95mm tournament set footing at 40mm will look small on it. Sheesham against maple is also a warm contrast rather than an absolute one, and anyone who values maximum legibility over timber character should be looking at an ebony board instead. It suits a player who already owns a tall luxury set in the high forties or low fifties at the base and wants a board that will outlast it.\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-Uc9kNf8Rln  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The 20mm edge of the 58.4cm sheesham and maple chess board\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/wooden_chess_board_sheesham_wood_4__3.jpg?v=1788336270\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Uc9kNf8Rln\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Ow3mZu2Kom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Uw6dIe7Ypv\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Uw6dIe7Ypv\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Hk7vAw7Rme\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Hk7vAw7Rme 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.
