Our Deluxe Walnut and Maple Chess Board is made for us by the craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the leading chess board manufacturer in the world. The rich brown color of the walnut and maple is perfect for matching with the golden rosewood and cream-colored boxwood pieces. This is an inlaid chess board made from the finest walnut and maple veneer and sealed with a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect the wood. The precision of the inlay work is remarkable. The chess board has 1.75" squares accentuated by a triple inlay border to separate the playing squares from the frame. The overall size of the board is 17.75" and is .5" thick. More chess games have been played with a German Knight than any other chess set in the world and it continues to be our most popular chess set.
