Chess Boards, Chess Tables, & Chess Boxes

A chess board is the board used in the game of chess. It consists of eight rows and eight columns of squares arranged in two alternating colors (light and dark). Similar boards are also known as checker boards. The colors are called "black" and "white" (or "light" and "dark"), although the actual colors are usually dark green and buff for boards used in competition, and often natural shades of light and dark woods for home boards. Some chess sets use red and black,. These are also used for checkers. The chess board is always placed so that the rightmost square on the row nearest each player is a "white" square. The size of the xhess board is usually chosen to be appropriate for the chess pieces used. A square size approximately 1.25 to 1.3 times the size of the base of the king is preferred.
