Chess Board Size Organized By Square

Small Chess Boards Executive Size Chess Boards
Chess Boards with 1 1/2" Square Size Chess Boards with a 1 3/4' Square Size
These boards are a smaller size than your standard chess board and best used for either smaller traditional pieces or the range of 3" tall theme chess sets. Modest chess board dimensions allow these boards to fit most anywhere, from an end or coffee table to desk or display shelf. Most of these boards are between 14" to 16" overall. These boards are usually intended for traditional chess pieces with a 2 1/2" king or theme chess pieces with a 3" king, but there are several 3" king traditional chess sets that would also suitably fit on a chessboard of this size. We refer to 1 3/4" square size chessboards as "executive" size. They are large enough to play comfortably, but small enough to fit on an end table or coffee table as an accent without overwhelming a space. Most of these boards are between 16" to 18" overall. These boards are intended for chess pieces with a 3" king height, but some traditional and theme sets can be as tall as 3 1/2" and still fit the board comfortably.
