There are two type of B&W sets, one is small, newspaper I think they call it and
then you have a bigger set which is the same size as what you see in Rebel and
Fritz. I use the large B&W set and just make the board the perfect size for it.
I use a darker green for the dark squares and a pale off white green colour for
the white. Looks really nice. That is a custom board I made.
