Chess Board
Should i get my boyfriend a marble chess board without storage or a wood board with storage for his birthday?
We both love chess and I already bought the chess pieces separately. I just don’t know whether a marble board or a wood board is better.
The day will eventually arrive where the chess board will be accidentally dropped on the floor. Which do you think will survive that fall unscathed? The wood, of course.
Wooden boards are, and have been for many generations, the board-of-choice for real players. It is one of the ear-marks of a beginner or non-chess player, to use marble, onyx, glass, etc, rather than wood.
Also, consider should you ever want to tote the board and set to a tournament, a friend or relatives house, the marble board would be heavy and still very fragile.
The wooden set wins hands-down!
P.S. Bringing a marble or onyx board to a tournament is certain to elicit many behind-the-hands snickering and derisive chuckling.
