Modular Chessboard
This simple solution divides a full size chessboard into sixteen equally sized tiles that can be quickly assembled, disassembled, and conveniently stacked and organized on the provided stand.
The full chessboard requires:
• 4 Center Tiles• 4 Corner Tiles• 8 Side Tiles• 32 "Light" Squares• 32 "Dark" Squares• 1 Storage Stand (optional)The fully assembled board is 18.5" square, including the 1/4" frame. Individuals squares are regulation 2.25". When stacked up on the storage stand it is 6" tall.
Pictured chess pieces are Dueling Spirals.
Note: The individual squares fit very tightly on their tiles. To remove them I slide a butter knife under one side and twist to pop it up. I then slide the knife under the other side of the square and repeat to remove it.
Edit: Someone asked about the square options. This entire design was about choices. Choose your border colors. Choose your square colors. And even choose your design. The flat squares are the most traditional and will give you a smooth, flat board. But for a more textured and bold design you can try either the beveled (rounded edges) or chamfered (chiseled edges).
