Dal Rossi Black & Erable Chess Board
If you like a chessboard to look like a chessboard, this is the one: strong black and white contrast and a deep matte finish the pieces glide across.

Black and white is the look most people picture for chess. A wide black border frames the squares, with a fine cream line between them, and the cream squares carry a soft swirl. Set out brown pieces or black ones, and both look right on it. It comes in two sizes, Compact and Standard.
- Matte surface, so a lamp overhead leaves the squares clear to read
- Flat and steady, so it sits still through a long game
- Made by Dal Rossi, a name in chess sets since 1980
Best for a home where chess gets played often, at the dining table or in a study.

Very pleased with Chessworld with purchasing this 50cm Dal Rossi chessboard.
It arrived just over a weekend, and when I got it it was beautiful! Even with my Chocolate Brown and Wood pieces, the black and white looks amazing, Would highly recommend! Amazing for 150!
I was so impressed with the service I received from my recent purchase from Chess World, in seeking to buy a solid board I went straight back to them and purchased the Dal Rossi board. The board arrived within a couple of days. It's a beautiful board and I'm having great fun playing through games on it with the beautifully weighted pieces purchased a short time ago from Chess World. My experience with this company is that if you're thinking about buying anything chess-related, your first move should always be Chess World.

Very pleasant purchase from ChessWorld… good communication and timely delivery
An excellent chess board - beautiful wood inlay and surface that lets pieces glide. Though not a solid board it’s solid enough to sit well during play. Delivery was quick and packaging substantial to ensure no damage in transit. Thanks Chess World - couldn’t be happier!
