Are You Ready For A Chess Table?

The game of chess has long been a fixture in the realm of board games. So much so, that we have actual tables dedicated to our games of strategy so that they can easier remain a staple in our daily lives and homes.

Are you a new chess player or someone who has loved playing chess for many years?

Both the novice and the experienced player will enjoy playing on a high quality chess table.

Most beginning chess players practice their skills on a basic chess board using traditional chess pieces.

For those of us who have developed a passion for the game we soon find that we want to have our pieces available at all times.Having a chess game displayed on a chess table allows you to concentrate and form new strategies.

You can choose from a variety of chess tables.Another great option is a chess/checker and backgammon combo table. This is the perfect table for a true game connoisseur.No more looking for lost pieces, everything is safely and neatly stored in one location.

If you are trying to match your chess table to your current decor there are many types of wood available. High quality chess tables are usually made from maple and walnut or mahogany and briarwood. Many of the tops are inlaid with genuine Italian Alabaster. The majority of chess tables will also have an inlaid mosaic border. I have found that the best quality chess table will come from Italy, handcrafted by Italian artisans. These tables will add beauty and class to any room regardless of the d?cor.

There are several different styles to choose from. There are chess tables that have one large pedestal as the base, or a smaller pedestal with 3 or 4 feet. If you like your furniture less “bulky” choose a table that has 4 thin legs with a storage shelf under the chess board.

When choosing a chess table make sure you consider the size of your chess pieces. The base of a chess piece can range from 1 1/8 inch to 2 3/4 inches. The squares on a chess table will range in size from 1 7/16 inch to 2 4/8 inches. Also note that the height of the table will range from 24 inches to 27 4/8 inches. The width will also vary from 16 inches to 26 inches. Whether you purchase your chess set first, or start with the table, make certain they are compatible.

Investing in an Italian made chess table will add a sophisticated focal point to any room.
