The Lasker Grand

The Lasker Grand is a handcrafted wooden chess board made from walnut and maple, designed for players who value quality craftsmanship. This board combines traditional game design with natural wood aesthetics, featuring a timeless construction that suits both serious players and collectors. Each board is carefully finished to enhance the natural grain and colour variation of the wood.

Available in three square sizes (50 mm, 55 mm, and 58 mm), The Lasker Grand accommodates chess pieces ranging from Staunton sets with 3.75-inch kings up to 4-inch kings, depending on your chosen configuration. The board itself comes in four overall dimensions: 480x480 mm, 520x520 mm, 540x540 mm (both 14 mm and 16 mm thickness options). You can also select whether to include alphanumeric border notation or prefer a clean, unmarked surface.

Please note that chess pieces are not included with this board and are sold separately. Choose your preferred square size, overall dimensions, and notation style to customise your purchase.

Emanuel Lasker held the world championship for 27 years - longer than anyone in history. Walnut is the most enduring, timeless hardwood in this range. Lasker was also a philosopher who believed chess was about human judgement over perfection, which suits the warm, unshowy character of walnut/maple. No flashiness - just lasting quality.
