What is the difference between a chess board and a complete set?
A chess board is the playing surface. A complete set also includes the pieces. Check the contents listed on each product page before choosing.
Which size should I choose for playing at home?
Think about the space available on your table, the size of the squares and the size of the pieces. The dimensions given on the product pages let you compare models.
What is a magnetic set for?
Magnetic hold helps the pieces stay on their squares. Folding and compact formats are particularly handy for storing or carrying the set.
How do I choose a set as a gift?
A complete set saves you having to match a board with pieces. Then choose the size and colours to suit the tastes and space of the person who will receive it.
