Hi,

maybe you know some matching wooden chessmen for this board with 32 mm fieldsize? I think about a Chavet no.0 with a 60 mm sized king. Some alternatives?Thanks🙂

According to this long post, the proper ratio of square size to king diameter is 76.5%.

For a 32mm square board, the king diameter should be 32mm * 76.5% = ~24.5mm. The king diameter is a common specification that's provided by the manufacturer.

Unfortunately, most pieces that are sold separately (i.e. pieces only with no board) are larger tournament-sized sets.

For your board size, the king height will likely be 2 1/2" or less. Sometimes, you'll find an "analysis set" advertised but I think even those may be too big for your board.

Ideally, you will want to find out what the king's diameter is. If that spec isn't provided, then look for a king height somewhere in the neighborhood of 2" - 2 1/4".

Good luck!
