Q) What size Chess Set is best?

A) This depends on the environment in which you wish to set up the chess set and board. There are many factors to consider before buying a Chess set, for example, the colour, look and feel, and most importantly, size. Do you also want to use the chess set as a decorative centrepiece? Then you'd need to make sure the colour of the wood is complimentary to the room furnishing. The UK regulation tournament size of a chess set is approx 19" with 2" squares, therefore you'll probably need a suitably sized table to display the set upon.
