The Alekhine (With Notation)

The Alekhine is a handcrafted wooden chess board built from premium maple, birch, and mahogany. Each board features a timeless design with a solid construction of 15 mm thickness, providing stability and durability for serious players and collectors alike. The board is available in six sizes, ranging from 360 x 360 mm to 540 x 540 mm, with square sizes between 38 mm and 58 mm to accommodate different chess piece sets.

You can customise your board further by choosing between versions with or without alphanumeric border notation along the edges. This notation helps players quickly reference board positions and is particularly useful for studying games and solving chess puzzles. The variety of sizes and square dimensions ensures you can find the right fit for your existing pieces or select a board based on your preferred playing experience.

Please note that chess pieces are not included with this purchase and are sold separately. When selecting your board size, consider the height of your chess pieces to ensure proper proportions during play. Whether you are setting up a home study space, expanding a collection, or seeking a reliable tournament board, The Alekhine offers the craftsmanship and customisation options to meet your needs.

Alexander Alekhine was Russian but lived in France for most of his adult life and died there. Ebony marquetry is a distinctly French craft tradition. The connection is cultural and geographic - not invented. Alekhine also had the most dramatic, attacking style of any world champion, which matches the visual weight of a pure ebony board.
