   The Pallas Rounded Corners Chess Board is a rare find. I’m going to sound like a pitch man for the company, but I’m not affiliated with any business. This board is perfect. The craftsmanship of the inlays, banding, bordering, and the bevel-cut corners is absolute precision. It has a smoothly sanded surface and satin sheen finish that is without flaws. Thickness of the board is about 1/2” and it is perfectly flat. Its 1 15/16″ squares are an excellent match to smaller scale chess pieces used on some “analysis” chessboards having a 2.875” tall King.

   After exploring the relevant chess boards for my recently purchased Colonial Williamsburg chessmen, I determined that the Best Chess Set Pallas board was the right choice. Each annotated measurement is spot on and accommodated the pieces as if made specifically for them. The slim design, along with stain colors, contribute to making a product that could easily cost far more than was paid. The overall effect is such that the chess set will not be relegated to an obscure location, rather it will be out in a prominent place and ready for the next game with family and friends. The board came in the original box, surrounded by a protective box—all from the manufacturer. boardgamesweekly.com provided the final box and, upon arrival, the board was in perfect condition. If you are looking for a great chessboard at a fantastic price, this is it!

   I received the chess board only a few minutes ago and couldn’t be more pleased. The board and chess pieces I recently purchased are a gift for my11 year old granddaughter. Seeing the pictures of the board on boardgamesweekly.com I knew it was beautiful, but I had no idea just how gorgeous it was. I am very pleased, and I am sure my granddaughter will also appreciate it. It came in two days and is in perfect condition.

   Excellent chess board – pieces glide nicely when you slide them across the board. Feels very sturdy and makes for a nice showpiece in your living room or den. I paired this board with the StonKraft 3.75” black chess pieces (see photos) and they are a perfect fit together! Also was able to find a nice travel case online but since it doesn’t fold you may want to keep it more at home.

   It is a reasonably good quality board, but after just one year I see pale circles under the pieces on the dark squares, as shown. The discolouration is worse than the photo shows. Disappointing.

   The board fits my king-size-3.75″ Indian Rosenwood / Boxwood chess set (StonKraft Collector Edition, also bought here on boardgamesweekly.com) perfectly: both in size and optic. I don’t need Rank / File notation and the saved space keeps the board small (17″ vs typical 19″) and yet still provide the needed 2×2″ square.
   Packaging is perfect with corner protection pieces which is not the norm for this price class: kudos to the manufacturer!
   Price has been increased by more than 10% right after I bought this board. While I’m glad I bought it before the price raise but it’s too bad since I may well need another one…

   Beautiful board. It’s thick and heavy. I haven’t found any flaws with it. Goes great with my 3.5” king chessmen set. You could potentially go a little bigger, 3.75” or possibly 4”, it will depend on the base diameter of your pieces. The rounded corners are nice. The little pads on the bottom of the board aren’t felt, they are little rubber pads so it won’t slide or damage your table.

   This seems to be a well made chessboard. It is more compact than most boards with 2 inch squares. It seems solid with no flaws. I have several boards and this is the most attractive.
