Club style boards offer the most versatility when it comes to a chess board. Most are suitable for club, tournament, classroom and especially casual play at home or wherever you like to play a game of chess.

Club chess boards for schools can be purchased at bulk discounts with starter kits.

You'll find a variety of styles including vinyl, cardboard, silicon and rubber.

• Vinyl roll-up boards are most typical and recommended for all types of chess.
• Cardboard folding boards have a smooth playing surface and can be extra compact and inexpensive.
• Silicone boards can be stored in extremely compact ways and are very durable.
• Rubber chessboards, like the mousepad and flex pad, are flexible and offer compact storage.
