A handcrafted walnut and maple chessboard in full tournament size. The board measures 55 x 55 cm and has 60 mm squares, suitable for chess pieces with a king height of approximately 95 mm.
The board is handcrafted from walnut and maple – two woods that create a calm, warm contrast. The black border around the playing field frames the game without being distracting, making it easy to focus on the position.
The surface is smooth and matte, with a weight and balance that is felt when you play. The wide frame provides visual calm, and the entire board is proportioned to highlight both the game and the pieces.
The design was developed in collaboration with experienced chess players and enthusiasts - with a focus on function, expression and quality.

Why choose Norwald?
We started Norwald because we wanted to create the chess sets we felt were missing.
Classic chess sets with the right proportions, made from solid wood, with the weight and balance that make them enjoyable to play with. Both our 55 × 55 cm set and the smaller 30 × 30 cm set have been developed with input from some of Denmark’s best chess players.
They are made in northern India, where some of the world’s most experienced chess makers specialise in handcrafted chess boards and pieces.
The goal is simple: to make chess sets we would want to play with ourselves and keep on display – and that are made to last for many years.
