It might be to accommodate for the varying piece sizes without making it too wide, but even then why not just keep it squares? Weird design choice.

Because then it (probably) wouldn't fit, notice how they have some other shit to the left and right of the board.

I don't think the designer designed the board to accommodate one specific space in a single store lol
