Subject: Size Of Wood Board and Pieces

Author: D Ridge

This is a little off topic but...

I'm interested in purchasing a high quality wood board and pieces.

Wooden chess boards come in all sizes with the most popular individual square
size ranging from 2 inches  to 2 1/2 inches.

I was wondering if someone can tell me if there is an official size for the
individual board squares, chess piece height and chess piece base diameter as
sanctioned by FIDE. If there is no official size can you tell me about the sizes
used in recent or past world championship and/or candidates events?

My Karpov GM has 2 inch squares but It seems to me that most wood boards have
2/38 to 2 1/2.

Thanks
