Pieces are too tight, 3D material is weird, bad readability.

I use Neo and the dark green tournament board for regular chess, and Neo with the blue board for variants. Just so that I have a constant visual reminder a different rule set is in play.

I use Neo/Dash which seems to be a popular choice and I suspect it's mostly because the movement of the knight is easier to see than other board & piece set variations. I've become so used to Neo/Dash that I feel like it's a handicap when I play with something else so am forcing myself to play with anything but Neo/Dash to get used to other designs. Hopefully exposing myself to lots of different board and piece sets for several weeks at a time will help improve my overall board vision. A randomiser option that automatically changes the board and pieces after every game could work. Or with an option to set the duration before it changes.
