For example, you can&#8217;t turn up to a club meeting with a travel-sized plastic chess set. Those lightweight, travel-friendly should only be used for playing on-the-go.

This will mostly be decided by your budget, as quality does come with a (often hefty) price tag.<\/p>\n<p>If you know that you&#8217;ll enjoy playing on a certain set for a long time, there is no harm in spending good money on it \u2013 after all, it is an investment for life (okay, mostly&#8230;). If you&#8217;re a beginner and not sure if you&#8217;ll play chess long-term, there is no harm in starting out on a cheap vinyl roll-up set. If you do decide to upgrade, you can always opt for more quality and better craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Find-The-Right-Sized-Chess-Set\"><\/span>How to Find The Right Sized Chess Set<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Finding the correct size for your chess set is mainly a consideration of your use case.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a very general guide for what the right size for a new chess set should be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For portable and travel chess sets, we recommend a board size of 10-14&#8243; inch \/ 25-35 cm.<\/li>\n<li>For general play at home, we recommend a tournament-size chess set, which is roughly 20&#8243; inch \/ 50.8 cm<\/li>\n<li>For a breathtaking playing experience, opt for a chess set with a board size of over 20&#8243; inch \/ 50.8 cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are specifically looking for a tournament chess set, make sure to check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/handbook.fide.com\/\">FIDE Handbook<\/a>, which goes into regulatory details on board size, square size and the height of the pieces.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take-Care-Of-Your-Chess-Set\"><\/span>Take Care Of Your Chess Set!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Once you bought your dream chess set, you want to keep it in tip-top condition. Besides being careful not to spill drinks or scratch it, you should also clean your chess board (and pieces) regularly, in order to keep it clean and looking its best. So, how do you clean a chess set?<\/p>\n<p><strong>In general, it is enough to use a soft cloth with a bit of water to dust off both your chess board as well as the pieces.<\/strong> If there is sticky residue or very stubborn stain on your board, you can add some dish soap to help get it off. But make sure there are no hard particles (such as small stones etc.) between the cloth and your board, or you might scratch it!<\/p>\n<p>If you have a high-quality chess set that is lacquered or otherwise treated, make sure to read the instructions or ask the manufacturer on how to clean your chess set \u2013 this way you can avoid any mishaps!<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for a basic beginner set or a <a href=\"https:\/\/chessily.com\/chess-sets\/luxury-chess-boards-and-sets\/\">luxurious<\/a> playing experience, we hope this guide helped you to find the <strong>best chess set for your needs<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Again, if you still haven&#8217;t found the right set for you, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out to us at <a href=\"mailto:mail@chessily.com\">mail@chessily.com<\/a> and we&#8217;ll help you as fast as possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Best Chess Sets in : Our Picks Choosing the best chess set for you is no easy feat.
