Great quality replica of 1970-80"s tournament board. High quality vinyl that rolls up well and lays perfectly flat.
In my opinion, roll up chess boards with a bright white background don’t look too good. This is a nice tan, and a great price. Fits my 4 1/8” king nicely.
I ordered this board, the Conqueror plastic chess set, and a storage box for my husband last Christmas. It has been used many times and is holding up well. It is easy to throw in the trunk of the car or tuck into a suitcase to take on vacations or family game nights. I forgot to order the storage box in my original order, and when I contacted the company to have it added on, I got some of the best customer service I've ever had!
This board was exactly what I was looking for, even though it was a bit more money than the brown and buff vinyl board it was replacing. It seems like a heavier vinyl than the kind I'd bought 40 years and perhaps this will continue to lay flat after being rolled up, unlike that earlier board. My particular board did have a dime-sized gouge in it, perhaps from a manufacturing process, but luckily it was not in the playing area.
Very nice board, the squares printing is very neat and sharp. It's a great value item. I highly recommend it, just keep in mind this is a 2.375" square board, a little extra size over the standard 2.25" square boards. Though tastes may vary, for some people, like me, the ideal square size must be twice the pawn's base diameter (4 pawns should fit into one square, or as close as possible) and the king's base diameter should be around 75% of the square size (side).
Actually, I find this board excellent in every respect. I withhold the 5th star because I find the algebraic notation on the borders visually distracting, so I cut the borders off.
Very pleased with this roll-up chess board.
Large enough for the chess pieces I purchased.
...and my 5 inch king and pieces fit the 2.375 inch squares just right!
