Chess boards are required for the popular game, King's Chess. Beautifully crafted in a classic style, often two woods of varying hue are used to create these pieces, such as oak and black walnut. No matter what the specifications of a chess board, all share the common trait that the individual pieces are shaped with such amazing detail that they are said to truly bring the game to life. Most chess boards can be found in a public establishment, such as a taproom or library.
