Building your own chess set

Buying the pieces and the board separately lets you choose each element: weighted pieces for comfort, a roll-up board for travel, or the other way round. It is also the answer when a set has lost pieces or a board has been damaged. The only rule to follow is matching the size of the pieces to the size of the squares.

Matching pieces and board

The safest guide: the base of the king should cover about three quarters of a square. Some combinations that work:

  • 6.4 cm king: squares of about 3.7 to 4 cm, 34 to 35 cm board.
  • 7.5 to 8 cm king: 4.5 to 5 cm squares, 43 cm board.
  • 9.5 cm king: 5 to 5.7 cm squares, 48 to 52 cm board, the tournament size.
  • 11 cm king: squares of 5.7 cm or more, 51 cm board at the very least.

The pieces

Our Staunton pieces come in wood or weighted plastic, with a king from 6.4 to 11 cm. Several sets include 2 extra queens, very handy for pawn promotions. For something out of the ordinary, see our themed sets and pieces.

The boards

Our roll-up chess boards in PVC, faux leather or rubber range from 34 to 52 cm, with coordinates on the edges. Light and washable, they are the boards clubs use. To store everything, add a carry bag; to play to a time control, a chess clock.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if pieces will fit my board?

Measure one square of your board and compare it with the king's base diameter given on the product page: the base should cover about 75% of the square.

Are the pieces sold as a set of 32?

Yes, our sets contain a complete set of 32 pieces, sometimes 34 with 2 extra queens. We don't sell individual pieces.

Do roll-up boards keep their creases?

PVC, faux leather and rubber roll up without marking. Lay the board flat for a few minutes before the game if it has been travelling for a long time.
