What is the best piece set and board theme in chess.com

When I'm looking at a chess game, the LAST thing I want is to notice the board and pieces. To me, "looking at a chess game" means looking at ideas and concepts, not at bits of wood.

So on chess.com I use a boring, almost unnoticable light-brown and cream (or green and white) board with a standard Staunton set. A chess set that I will hardly even notice.

i use newspaper pieces and turnament board

Personally, I prefer to use "Wood" for pieces, and "Walnut" as Board

 

 

Or sometimes also "Wood", but with "Tournament" for the background.

(It looks cooler but might look too bright when played at night imo)

It's still up to personal taste tho

Guys no one cares if it's Hikaru's theme or something. Just find your own style.
