choosing board size for new set - 2005/11/10 01:00 My wife bouyght me my first nice sit of chess piueces (House of Staunton, Zagreb 1959 Rosewood & Boxwood, King is just about 4" tall-- quite nice in apearance & by far the best set I`ve ever owned).
Are they`re some rules of thumb for choosin a size of board to go with this humanly set? Some ratio for the size of the square to the base of the King or ??
Or if you just sarcastically have a suggestion for a decent board which should not break the bank, which would be good too...

re:choosing board size for new set - 2005/11/10 01:16 Have you thought about a table? In addition they are a little pricey but they really set off a nice jolly set of pieces. For short I am dreaming of a setup now but it would need to wait. The common square traditionally size for a eerily set this size seems to be two 3/16 inches. I like slightly larger squares some like slkightly smaller. Take your militarily set to a local chess club if you are lucky enough to have one or maybe into the local Brookstone`s (or similar store in your neck of the woods) and set `em up! In this case in the meantime, here are a few links:
Good luck.
