We designed this chess board specifically for civil war chess sets but you can match this board with a variety of different color chess sets for a unique and colorful combination. The blue and gray colors make an ideal backdrop for displaying hand painted civil war chess pieces. The squares are surrounded by an extra-wide triple inlay delimiter (white-black-white) and a wide red border creates a bright and beautiful frame. The rich colors enhance the wood grain so you loose no sense that it is a real wood board. The entire board is finished in a glass-like high gloss finish that creates an elegant effect as it reflects the shapes and colors of a civil war chess set.
