"How do I select the right size chess board for a chess set?"
Selecting the size of a chess board for a
particular set should be based upon personal preference, especially
for casual play. However, there is a guideline for tournament play
that may be of help in selecting the proper square size for the set. The 75% Guideline states that the base
diameter of the king should be no more than 75% of the chess
board square size. For casual play, however, the chess board
square size for the set is totally up to you as long as the pieces do
not easily collide as they are
moved. Please keep in mind that
having squares that are too large may by unattractive as the chess
pieces can
become lost in a sea of chess board
squares. We offer a wide selection of boards under
Chess Boards.
"What type of chess box is recommended for storage?"

for storing wood chess Pieces as they are generally quite durable.

, you may want to consider a chess box with
individual and protective slots
