Chess Boards

The other half of the jigsaw - if you'll excuse the metaphor - is the chess board. It's easy to make a mistake with the board - spending the lion's share of your budget on the set of chess pieces whilst scrimping on the board. But it's a full half! We advise choosing appropriately therefore - if you've bought a luxury set, you need a luxury board - and here are some of the best the world has to offer. A chess board is as much a part of the display as the set - please remember this. As with any chess board, it should be kept out of extremes of heat, particularly direct sunlight for prolonged periods - this can discolor the board as with general wood items. (As an aside - we did have one customer that this happened to. He initially complained and we were about to send another board as replacement - but he then decided he actually liked the aged effect and didn't want it changed.)
