Sizing Chess Pieces To A Board

In matching pieces to a chessboard, the base diameter of the pieces fits about 75% of the square. This general guideline applies mostly to competitive style pieces.

A themed or decorative set can occupy 80% or more of the square.

From classic Staunton pieces to artsy pieces like the Bauhaus set, there’s a wide variety available. For young players starting out, we recommend practicing chess strategy with the Club and Tournament Chess Pieces.

Pieces in a Chess Game

A standard set consists of 32 pieces:

  • One King: the king is the most important piece; the king can only move one square at a time; checkmate the king, win the game
  • One Queen: a major piece, the modern queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess
  • Two Rooks: second to the queen, the rook is one of the major pieces; the rook can move as many squares in a straight direction, horizontally or vertically
  • Two Knights: the knight is a minor piece that moves in an L-shape. The knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces
  • Two Bishops: the bishop is one of the minor pieces and moves in straight diagonals
  • Eight Pawns: the humble pawn guards the valuable pieces. A pawn moves forward one square. Pawns can move two squares forward only in the first move
