Chess Piece Sizing Guide

It's important to get the right size chess pieces for your board. This guide will help you choose which pieces to pair with which board. 

Key measurements to consider:

1. King’s Base Size
2. Board Square Size

Guideline:

• The King’s base should be about 75% of the square size.
  • Example: 1.5 inch square = 1.125 inch King’s base diameter.

What's Wrong:

• King Too Large:
  Board looks crowded and untidy.
  
  
  
  

• King Too Small:
  Pieces look too small for the board.
  
  

What's Right:

• The King should have some space in the square, and smaller pieces should look balanced.
