Buying a Chess Board

1. Chess boards come many different sizes. They typically range from 15 inches across to 28 inches across. If you don't have a lot of space, you should look to purchase a smaller board.

2. When buying a decorative chess board, take note of what kind of chess pieces you will have. It doesn't make much sense to buy a medieval themed chess board with plastic, regular pieces. On the other hand, a marble themed board goes great with decorative marble chess pieces.

3. Some chess boards have small feet that help it to sit off the ground, while others have a place to store your pieces. If you are just buying a board, you may want to look into getting a board with one of these accessories. On the other hand, if you have a nice chess table, you probably don't need the extra storage space or feet.

4. If you want a classic looking decorative chess board, wood is a great option. Marble, stone and plastic boards add more of a contemporary, modern look, although some stone boards can be more decorative and ornamental than wooden ones.

5. While chess boards are obviously used for playing chess, they are also a great way to add a sophisticated look to your home.

6. Chess boards and sets also make great family heirlooms, and tend to appreciate in value over time.
