Pricing Note
As of this writing, teak lumber sells for $8/lb at most
hardwood retailers in the US. That will go up over time. A large teak
MegaChess set sells for a fraction of this raw material cost.
Considered as an investment, the value of a teak
MegaChess set doesn't depreciate it goes up in value as teak
grows more scarce. After over a thousand years, a chess set is not going to go
out of style. A MegaChess set has no moving parts, hence nothing to wear
out. It will be a family treasure to pass down through many generations.
A MegaChess set is like buying gold that you can
enjoy! |
When planning a playing area, consider the minimum size of the square of a chessboard as the width of the base of the king (5 inches). The common standard for tile that size is a 6" square, yielding a chessboard 4 feet on a side. With room for a border to place taken pieces, plan on a 5-foot by 5-foot area.
| You can make a chessboard for
this chess set using 6" kitchen tiles available in thousands of colors at your
local home improvement store, perhaps inlaid into a coffee table. If you prefer
a more portable chessboard, the kind you can bring to birthday parties,
picnics, parks, and BBQs, take a peek at the chessboards below, selected to
