Certainly an ebony and boxwood chess board will look color coordinated and matched. You may want to introduce some color just for looks, since your pieces are neutral tones -- but that is going to be a matter of personal taste. Any wooden chess board is going to look just fine with your new wooden pieces.
The important part is getting a chess board that is the right SIZE as well as the colors you prefer. If you get a board where the squares are too small, the pieces will get knocked over during play which is very distracting. There is an easy way to assure getting a board that is the right size for your pieces. Measure the diameter of the base of the king and add 1/2 inch. If your king measures 1.25 inch across the base, you should get a board with AT LEAST 1.75 inch squares.</description>

IMO, walnut and maple isn&#039;t the best combination for your set. Ebony boards would work well, but if your board matches your set exactly, sometimes the pieces get &quot;lost&quot; on the board..

I bought a ebony &amp; boxwood set from House of Staunton years ago. The board I bought to go with the set was a folding board that looked like this one:+-+Gloss+Finish/exact_match=exact/user-id=/password=

It goes well with the chessmen, and pieces never get &quot;lost&quot; (which is important when calculating!).

House of Staunton makes excellent chess equipment for the price, so I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll enjoy your set.</description>

How about a glass board. Some of the squares are frosted and some clear instead of black and white.</description>
