Do you know where I can buy a FIDE-compliant chess board? Like the one that is used in tournaments? Thank you very much

Do you mean the DGT ones that automatically report the score (http://www.digitalgametechnology.com/index.php/products/electronic-boards) or just a simple board?

Thank you very much, awesome!

I see that for the traditional colours (both board and pieces) i have to spend 171 Euros (85.5 for board, and further 85.5 for pieces)?

if this is the case, do you recommend something similar (in terms of quality and dimensions) that costs less?

thanks a lot again

There are a ton of sets and board that are compliant with FIDE standards. You can look at the requirements in the following and just find one that you like that at least meets the minimum standard.
