Check out Etsy. There are a lot of handmade boards out there with squares that can be custom sized to accommodate these larger pieces. I bought one from a seller named "naturalchess" and the board turned out beautiful.

I bought this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UG0SFW?psc=1&redirect;=true&ref;_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) combo set from the same seller. It comes with the original set and a 21 1/4" X 21 1/4" walnut and maple board. It's perfect and looks great together.

We found the perfect board on eBay. It is an ebony and birdseye maple board that perfectly complements this gorgeous chess set. I checked and it looks like seller has one board left. 21" Ebony & Birdseye Maple Chess Board ($107.96) at seller "xstremedeals" (100% Pos Feedback) Hope this helps!

Yes....Overall a nice looking board. Customer support is slow and, as I said in my review, the key paint does not hold up.

I would suggest buying a tabletop easel that is made specifically for that purpose (For Example: B004XMOT08). Thank you.

If possible, I would buy more than 30 pieces. Get the largest set you can, because the joy will be more long-lasting. If he is playing them with a friend, that would only be 15 pieces each, and it is hard to build something with just 15 pieces. However, if you can only afford 30 pieces, he would enjoy it tremendously. I can pretty well guarantee that if you buy the 30 set, you will be back to buy a larger set to add to it. This is the most fun toy ever created, seriously. The pieces click together with magnets, and lend themselves to a wide variety of shapes. You will probably end up playing with them as much or more than your 9 year old. God bless. Marian Liveley

Hi Brian,If you go to the chess king website you will be able to upgrade right there. I suggest you upgrade to Houdini 3 rather than 2 as it has much better features and strength.

Each square is slightly more than a inch. The chess board is ~9 inches by ~9 inches

only "not so smart" (feel free to replace word in parenthesis with whatever you like as long as it's negative) people's chess sets have 2 extra queens (you can pretend that any piece is the promoted queen) i don't know of a single chess set for adults!!!!! that would include extra pieces (what if you didn't want a queen only a rook would they need to give you extra rooks) CM-ON PEOPLE QUIT WHILE YOUR QUESTIONS DON'T GET OUT IN THE OPEN THE WORLD IS ALREADY LAUGHING @ us!!!!

Yes, the design is very good but be sure you get the correct board to use with it. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you for the interest shown in our products. We could produce also that set. Best thing would be to send you a sample picture of how it would look. If you like it, you will order the set we will indicate you and we'll send you the set that you want. But please send us a private message, so we could reply with the photo, tomorrow morning.

Weight and size are about double the normal chess board.Thickness is slightly more than a chess/checkers board.

Partial board. Wish I'd thought to ask that ahead of time. I does look ok once all together but make sure you have someone to help. Also the back of it is cardboard covered in contact paper.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

Any silverware would look good. The shape and depth of plates and bowls are quite modern to me, and the sheen of the plates is very nice, almost mother of pearl sheen. Very nice and would blend well with any kind of placemat and accents on your table. Hope this helps.

I haven't used this board yet but find "Chalk Markers" at your local art store. "Bistro Chalk Marker" brand is my favorite.

The pieces are pretty nice, the board is good, just wish it felt stronger. Overall is a pretty nice chess set.

The chess board is pretty standard sized. About 18"x18" I'd say. And 2" tall when folded out.
