Good afternoon,
Could you tell me the official chessboard
size because I like to buy one that I can
use in Chess tournaments.
Thank you for your attention.

Dear
viewer,
Chess boards:
Wood, plastic, cardboard or cloth are
recommended as material for chessboards. The
board may also be of stone or marble with
appropriate light and dark colours, provided the
Chief Arbiter finds it acceptable. Natural wood
with sufficient contrast, such as birch, maple
or European ash against walnut, teak, beech,
etc., may also be used for boards, which must
have a dull or neutral finish, never shiny.
Combination of colours such as brown, green, or
very light tan and white, cream, off-white
ivory, buff, etc., may be used for the Chess
squares in addition to natural colours.
The board size should be such that the pieces
appear neither too crowded nor too lonely on the
squares. It is recommended that a side of the
square should measure 5 to 6 1/2 cm.
A comfortable table of suitable height may be
fitted in with a chessboard. If the table and
the board are separate from one another, the
latter must be fastened and thus prevented from
moving during play.
