    Mousepad Chess Board — Pro

    Premium Soft Rubber Base · Regulation 2.25" Squares · Lies Perfectly Flat

    Most portable chess boards make you choose between quality and convenience. This one doesn't. The Mousepad Chess Board — Pro is built on a thick 3mm soft rubber base — heavier and more substantial than the thin vinyl or silicone boards you'll find elsewhere — with a fabric playing surface that pieces glide across cleanly and that wipes down in seconds. Roll it up or fold it up, tuck it into a backpack or travel bag alongside a set of pieces, and you have a complete, tournament-ready chess setup that goes anywhere. It opens dead flat every time — no books on the corners, no clips, no fuss. Washable, spill-resistant, and built for years of serious use at clubs, tournaments, and at home.

    ✦

    Key Features

    • Always unrolls flat: The rubber backing creates just enough weight and grip that the board lies perfectly flat the moment you unroll it — no books on the corners, no warping, no fuss.
    • Premium 3mm rubber base: At 3mm, this is a noticeably thicker and more substantial board than the thin vinyl or silicone options on the market. The extra weight means it sits firmly on any table, grips well, and simply feels more serious to play on.
    • Pieces slide beautifully: The fabric surface has just the right amount of texture — pieces move cleanly and deliberately without catching or skidding, which makes a real difference in a long game.
    • Meets CFC and FIDE tournament standards: With 2.25" squares on a 20" × 20" board, this meets the dimensional requirements for rated club and tournament play in Canada and internationally.
    • Rolls or folds for storage: Unlike vinyl, this board can be folded and kept that way without taking on a permanent crease — as long as it isn't stored under heavy sustained pressure. Roll it loosely or fold it up; either way it opens flat and plays true.
    • Washable fabric surface: The top is a durable printed cloth that cleans easily with soap and warm water — practical for classrooms, cafes, and anywhere else chess is played regularly.
    • Notation on all four sides: Algebraic coordinates are printed clearly on every edge, so both players can read the board for game recording, analysis, and instruction.
    • Works with virtually any standard set: The 2.25" squares suit kings from 3.5" to 3.85" — the range that covers nearly every standard Staunton set on the market.

    Care & Cleaning

    Clean with mild dish soap and warm water, then wipe or air-dry. The cloth surface is more absorbent than traditional vinyl, but it is fully washable — spills from coffee or juice can be gently scrubbed out without fading the print. It is best to store rolled loosely with the fabric side facing out.

    The board can also be folded and stored that way without issue. Ordinary folding for shorter periods is fine and won't leave a permanent crease. What to avoid: storing it folded under heavy books or sustained pressure for a long time, as that can eventually cause a crease to set in. Treated with a little care, this board will hold up to years of regular use.
