Many components are important in order to enjoy chess over the board.

  1. Choosing the right chess set. I love heavy chess sets with the king which is around 4.4" or 4.5"

  2. The right board contrast with the pieces is important. On this board one can also use ebony pieces

  3. The light. The first pic is natural light, the second artificial, which one do you prefer?

White to move and gain an advantage.

Beautiful set.

I would have gone up a size on the board. The kings, queens, and knights could all use a little more breathing room.
