A&A offers an impressive chessboard at an attractive price. I needed a fine quality wood board with positional notation. This terrific board has all the right stuff. I couldn't be more pleased with both the quality and the price of this attractive chessboard. For several years, I have owned an elegant handmade chessboard (without notation) made in Spain by world-renowned Rechapados Ferrer. At the time, it too was affordably priced... but sadly, not today. In researching online chess specialty shops, equivalent boards are priced at least $100-$200 higher. Most of these boards are made in China -- as is this one from A&A. When this board arrived, I carefully inspected all surfaces for imperfections and happily found none. The quality of the materials is very good and the workmanship is excellent. My board measures virtually 19" with 2" squares. It is perfect for my 3.75" matching wood chess pieces. The appearance and fit & finish of this board are superb. The only difference I noticed between this A&A board and my now insanely expensive board from Spain is the side edges are wood veneer rather than a solid wood 2" boarder. Unless you inspected this very closely, I doubt most people would even notice this minor detail. The quality padded zipper case provides excellent protection. I also saved the 4 plastic shipping corners -- they work great and add an additional corner shield. They easily fit on the board within the padded case. For the serious player or for casual games, this lovely chessboard from A&A should put a smile on your face. Highly recommended.
