When it is time to replace or invest in a new chess set and board it is important to select the proper board to match the requirements of the chessmen. Ideally you would want the board to match in terms of the material used for the chess pieces, for example if the men are wooden then a wood designed board would be ideal.
Configuring the pieces and board for an aesthetically pleasing look is relatively easy. It is a good idea to consider the dark pieces and their playing squares, and then match them accordingly. Commonly most white side chessmen, made from wood, are carved from Boxwood. With chessboards, the white square is usually constructed from Erable, Aspen or Maple.
The dark side of the board may feature a variety of woods or materials. When aesthetics is the focal point, it is recommended to consider where the board will be placed and used. If you plan to use it on a beautiful walnut table then ideally a walnut chess board would be an excellent choice.
There is a simple guideline that will help you decide on the base size of the chessmen that states the king's base diameter should be seventy five percent of the chess board's squares. For the most part this will work and is only a guideline.
If you are trying to place a chess set on a particular table that has limited space then you may want to bend the guidelines but not too much because you do not want a base that is larger than the squares because the board will become overcrowded and unappealing.
The sizing of chessmen to a board can be purely ones personal taste. However tournament play is the exception, strict and precise specifications are put forth by the governing bodies that dictate the specific size of pieces and boards. The US Chess Federation, the governing body for chess in the United States of America has specific equipment standards in their rules. For chess pieces they dictate that a King shall measure 3 3/8" to 4 1/2" with a base diameter of 40-50% of the height.
