  • Here are some tips from Raphael on how to use the Stack hardwood chessboard and keep it in optimal condition. One important thing not mentioned in the video is avoid leaving the board in direct sunlight for hours on end - this could bleach a finish that's not completely cured yet. And in the event you left pieces on the board in direct sunlight, over time these would leave shadows. www.chesshouse.com/the_STACK_I...

    Thanks for the video and explainer. I've always felt the chess board plays an important role in engaging the environment of the game. About 2 decades before, studying in Prague with my old Nordic friend, it was a Soviet times magnet chess board seated at a Cafe window placed on a chamfered street corner. In more recent years, the marble chess set handed down from my Father. Currently I have 4 sets. This is really a beautiful board, fitting for home display and travel. I like the simplicity and quality that has been described.

    Nifty board. This is the kind of board you set up in a nice house and you have chess-playing guests. I have a solid, top-of-the-line Drueke board with wooden Drueke pieces which I paid about the same price for the set, complete with clock. My set is suitable for tournament play, but this one is more suitable for house guests in a nice house. The only negative is that I would prefer a trim or border on each side.

    • @daver3k
      @daver3k 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I understand how one might think so, but: it's 1) a hardwood chessboard 2) hand-made 3) in the USA. All three of these factors contribute significantly to the final price. Both the retailer (Chess House) and the woodworker (JLP) need to turn a profit to stay in business.
      You're right in that this would be "awesome at $100" - it would be a steal at $100, and I'd feel guilty paying only that, frankly. For $100, a veneered board would be expected (and acceptable!); at first glance $450 seems steep, but accounting for what goes into this board, I would submit that it's eminently reasonable.

    What wood is made of? The round stikers are to cover the neodymium magnets, in that case I guess they will come in dark chocolate and cream? It seems to me that it would not have to be worth more than US $ 300 , but not much less.

    • @ChessHouse
      @ChessHouse  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The round pads are optional as pads for on a table surface to add a fraction of separation and avoid any scratching of the wood. However since this time we're not recommending they be used, let alone necessary.

    I wonder if anyone thought about the issue of fitting a board of over 50 to 60 cm (roughly 19.68” to 23.62”) in the living room or anywhere else to be honest.
    Most of the forniture or units in my house don’t go over 40 cm depth (15.74”) which mean that whatever premium or standard board I have wont go anywhere; unless I place it on the dinner table or to a huge coffee table which no everyone have the space for or like the idea of it.
    I was looking for a foldable solution and JLP have made a premium one which I really like, but still, is not the same for storage. Here you have something nice that will look good pretty much anywhere in the house and will occupy a little space.
    - Is the board pricy? Yes - I can understand that
    - Is the board for everyone? No
    But again, the storage solution and the nice design are very appealing factors in the choice.
    Personally I will try to score one. The price is high but lets see.
