Transport your wooden board with a set and clock safely, easily and in style!
This heavily padded carrying case is 24.5" x 24.5" and will hold a solid wooden board up to 24" on a side and 5/8" thick. Three zippered pockets on the front and one on the back allow you to take along your favorite set, clock and scorebook. The two pockets for the pieces are each 7.5" x 5" and the middle pocket for the clock is 10.5" x 4.75" and they are all 2.5" deep. A scorebook will easily slip into the 12" x 7.5" pocket on the back.
This nylon/canvas blend bag will fit any of the Berkshire, ChessCafe or Drueke boards sold by ChessCafe.com!

These House of Staunton carrying bags for wooden boards and tournament chessmen are the best! Until these came on the market a couple of years ago, I used to store and carry my boards in artist's portfolio bags. These, of course, were not intended for chessboards, and feature a waterproof lining. Portfolio cases are lined with a rubberized material, which can ruin the lacquer on chess boards, softening it, and leaving a "tooth" pattern. I found out the hard way, and had to re-finish a half dozen boards.
These House of Staunton cases feature a cloth lining inside, which won't mar your wooden board's fine finish. The House of Staunton cases are heavy duty and nicely padded and a delight to use and own.
The double nylon zippers are durable and easy to grasp. There is also a smaller version of these cases. Iside the outer compartment are elastic loops that suspend each of your chessmen in place without touching, rubbing or marring each other while in transit.
A pouch holds tournament scorebooks, pens, and a favorite chess book.
But one change I'd like to see would be to add a buckle to the carrying straps to adjust their length. I have found that these cases can be difficult to get on and off your shoulder in a heavy winter coat. I'd be glad to pay a little more to for this important feature!

Great Bag

This Carrying Case is great. I can put my board in the case very easy. I do wish the pockets that hold my pieces was bigger. The pocket on the back was a good size.
