Inlaid Wooden Tournament Board — 21″

The board for players who have stopped counting the games. Twenty-one inches across, inlaid rather than printed, with a wide border carrying a shallow hand-carved African motif.

What you get

• 21-inch (533 mm) playing surface with 60 mm squares
• Inlaid walnut and maple squares, not a printed sheet
• Wide border with a hand-carved geometric motif in shallow relief
• Felt-lined base, brass corner protectors

Why it matters

Wider squares give larger pieces room to breathe, and an inlaid surface keeps its colour far longer than a printed one. This is the board that gets set up for the game people remember.

Good to know

It is heavy and does not fold — this is a board for a club table rather than a backpack. Keep it dry and oil the border lightly once a year.
