It's also noticeably lighter than a wood or glass board, which matters more than people expect once you're actually carrying it somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Black-and-White Squares for Serious Play\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh-contrast squares aren't just aesthetic — they reduce eye strain during long games and make it easier to track piece movement at a glance, especially useful for players still building board vision or teaching kids the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Set, No Add-Ons Needed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery configuration ships with two extra queens included, so you're never stuck improvising with an upside-down rook during pawn promotion — a small detail, but one that regular players will appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour Sizes to Match How You Actually Play\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a compact 34cm board built for travel to a substantial 51cm board with 9.5cm pieces for home display or club use, you can match the set to your use case instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"specifications\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBoard Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePiece Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34cm x 34cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard piece set + 2 extra Queens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTravel, backpack storage, kids\/beginners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm x 43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard piece set + 2 extra Queens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEveryday home play, gifting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Large-Piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm x 43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge piece set + 2 extra Queens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayers who prefer larger, easier-to-handle pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51cm x 51cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge piece set + 2 extra Queens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHome display, club\/group play, tournament-style feel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"faq\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this chess set suitable for beginners or only experienced players?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It works well for both. The high-contrast black-and-white board makes it easier for beginners to track piece movement and learn opening patterns, while the tournament-style proportions suit more experienced players who want a proper feel without a heavy, breakable board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the board fold completely flat, and does it double as a case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The PU leather board folds in half and functions as the carrying case for all pieces, so there's nothing extra to pack or misplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does the set come with two extra Queens?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: In chess, pawns that reach the opposite end of the board can be promoted to any piece — most often a Queen. Having two spare Queens means both players can promote multiple pawns in a single game without needing to substitute an upside-down piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What's the difference between the 6.5cm and 9.5cm piece sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The 6.5cm pieces are more compact and travel-friendly, ideal for smaller boards or bags. The 9.5cm pieces are larger and heavier in the hand, which many players find easier to grip and better suited to a 43cm or 51cm board for a more substantial, display-worthy set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is PU leather durable enough for regular use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — PU leather is specifically chosen for portable sets because it resists scuffing, cracking, and moisture better than genuine leather, while staying lightweight enough for frequent travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Which size should I choose as a gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The 43cm board with 6.5cm pieces is the most popular all-around choice — large enough to feel substantial, compact enough to store easily. For a more premium gift, the 43cm board with 9.5cm large pieces adds a noticeable upgrade in look and feel without the bulk of the largest 51cm option.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chess Xiangqi","offers":[{"title":"34cm Board + 6.5cm Pieces","offer_id":50459258945729,"sku":"XQG20260804002-1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43cm Board + 6.5cm Pieces","offer_id":50459258978497,"sku":"XQG20260804002-2","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43cm Board + 9.5cm Pieces","offer_id":50459259011265,"sku":"XQG20260804002-3","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"51cm Board + 9.5cm Pieces","offer_id":50459259044033,"sku":"XQG20260804002-4","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/8903\/1105\/files\/PortablePULeatherChessSet3.jpg?v=1785831871","url":"https:\/\/www.chessxiangqi.com\/products\/portable-chess-board-set","provider":"Chess Xiangqi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
