My wife loves this board,I found the silver a bit disconcerting at first and the green slightly shiny.I now appreciate the board. The guillotine or knife may need to be sharper as there was a few loose threads on the backing and one board was slightly squashed on one corner edge,but no big problem,it flattened out.

Very disappointed with this product. Much darker than the pic shows and it glistens too much. I won't even use it.

Look no further as this board is everything you ever asked for in a vinyl board and then some. It is the same as the gold board material wise. Just a matter of taste which one you like the best.
I bought BOTH.
For years I bought many crappy roll up boards wondering if anyone would ever make one that would last forever and clean up perfect and slide slide slide the pieces. This is it.
Get it while they have them in stock as this board goes as fast as a Chronos Clock.
Get both the gold and the aluminum in whatever colors you like, I bought Green in both, you won't regret it.

Now I'm not the kind of fella who just as soon a new fancy chessboard come out, runs out to buy one, I mean I stick with my stuff. My old board n' men, they've given me so many great victories, why leave them? Well this here one board is an exception. Same fabric as the golden style, but this one's the SILVER version! Actually, more like a very sophisticated, metallic-silver type mahuggly. I tell ya Harry, the board was made to impress!

ps.: My only tiny complaint is that perhaps the notation and digits are a bit too large. But whatevs. Get the board. The green one. Yep, that green one.

This board is dull enough to be easy on the eyes and bright enough to work under all lighting conditions.
CHESSHOUSE has the highest quality boards I've seen.
Even margins (yes I've bought boards whose margins weren't even close), distinct letters and numbers (I've bought boards that had smudged and missing letters and numbers). AndAmerican made!
