GSE Games & Sports ExpertProfessional Tournament Chess Board Only, Beech & Maple Inlaid Chessboard, Portable Chess Board for Beginners, Kids, Adults (Medium: 15.75" / Square: 1.57" Black)

This was a Christmas gift. My son-in-law said he liked it.

I grabbed one of these for my collection. As the owner of many chess boards - almost all more expensive - I can say without doubt for the price THIS ONE is a Steal. You won't have to apologize to anyone presenting this board to play a game on. Its shade provides a very accommodating stage for a variety of chessmen colors, its smooth surface makes moving pieces effortless. I recommend this 👌.

This GSE Games 15.75-inch chess board (board only; chess pieces are not included) is medium weight, heavy enough to stay put while moving chess pieces. Squares are just right (little tight) for a 2.75-inch tall queen with a 0.75-inch base. As a beginner, I wanted the algebraic notation to make it easy for me to make notes of chess-piece moves. Would like to have the A to H file notation in lower case (a to h) because in today's world of chess the file is normally written in lower case. But, I get that the chess board aesthetics look better with the upper-case letters. Okay, I get it. Beautiful wood grain. Gorgeous!

Two corners were dinged-up like the pkg. had been dropped. It would seem to me that the shipping pkg. needs to be reinforced around all four corners. After repairing the two damaged corners,of course it may have been damaged before shipping to me, I am pleased.

Más hermoso de lo que pensé!

I bought this on recommendation from a customer who bought some nice looking chess pieces and wanted a better board than the cardboard one that came with that set. I am both pleased with this board and the chess pieces. It looks very nice, well made and finished. I'm not a big enough fan to spend big money, but I also wanted something handsome looking and this combo fits my desires just fine.Because a couple of people commented that their board came damaged, I had no problems with the packaging, but I can see how rough treatment could result in damage. But I'd say that's on whoever handled it, not the manufacturer.
