Is there really a regulation size?Lord Nibbo":3mebg3uh said:A championship size chessboard
Yes...... Well it depends on the size of the pieces, For chess championships Staunton is a must and dependant on the Kings base size. The squares have to be 120%- 130% measured diagonally bigger than the Kings diameter measurement .doctor Bob":2v2fxvtm said:Is there really a regulation size?Lord Nibbo":2v2fxvtm said:A championship size chessboard
Sorry I must have had diagonal on the braincondeesteso":21ui3y9e said:spotted this as I have a chess table planned, but never realised there was an official table size, relative to the king.
I was just going to make mine so it looked sort of right, but I question the 120 - 130% diagonal? The ratio of the diagonal to the side of any square is 1.41 (to 2 dp!), i.e. the diagonal is 141% of the side. Is this rule for the side dimension, as if you use it on the diagonal the base of the king will exceed the square's width I think?? I don't mean this matters much, but just wondering.
I used to, but got fed up with people not finishing games especially if they were losing.devonwoody":3cxzxmzk said:I am interested in this project as well. Do you play chess on the net?
