I just ordered a House of Staunton 4.4" Imperial Collector Set in Boxwood and Blood Rosewood. I am curious as to which board would go well with the Blood Rosewood pieces. Does anyone hav eit paired up with a board which uses Ebony for the dark squares? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi cwceaser,
I am not sure what you preference in board finishes are, but for a glossy board: http://www.braroechess.com/55520bmg.html

I have a similar question...got a H of S Classic Series Natural and Ebonized Boxwood set, and considering what kind of board would go well.
I bouncing between wholesalechess's Deluxe Wenge Wood, Deluxe Mahogany or Deluxe Rosewood. Anybody have any advice regarding compatibility and aesthetics please? Thanks.
I have a $5 board with plastic pieces from Target and the bottom of one rook fell off - levity I hope, but true
Basically, it was you like - always remember that.
But, the Wenge Wood coordinates the best - with the Ebonized pieces.
Just my two cents.
Big spender !!
Yes I was leaning a lot towards the wenge wood too...until I thought the dark pieces might get lost in the dark squares, so started thinking about the other more brown shades...thanks for the 2nd opinion!
