The Boards

589 chessboards, including nine Immortals that aren’t sold in shops.

Chessboard 449 — an Immortal.

589 boards

You leave home with a plain black-and-white board, the first of 589. The other 588 are collectible and graded the way chess players are, from Patzer to Grandmaster, with nine Immortals above all six grades that are never for sale.

The 588 collectible boards by grade:

  • 131Patzer
  • 115Wood-Pusher
  • 111Club
  • 116Expert
  • 81Master
  • 25Grandmaster
  • 9Immortal

Most are bought from the Boardwright in any town. Some are won from people you meet. 124 come only by finishing a particular lesson at a Chess University.

They come in 16 kinds, from Nature (92 boards) to Fusion (12), and the shelf in the game filters on all of them.

The Board Collection captured from the game: ten boards owned with The Plain Board you start with first on the shelf, 10 of 589 counted at the top, and sixteen kind filters from Abstract to Wood.
