What size chessboard do professionals use?
1 Answer
According to the World Chess Federation, chessboard squares should be two to 2.5 inches, and the entire board should be 21 inches. This size allows plenty of space for the pieces to roam freely without a cluttered look. Shop a collection of vintage chessboards on 1stDibs.
