About the Artist: John has a rich woodworking heritage in the state of Pennsylvania. Originally from Switzerland, the skills were passed down through five generations. This lost art of woodworking is continually refined, blending timeless methods with the latest knowledge of wood behavior. For example every design must be carefully planned with the appropriate wood selection and cuts to account for variations in humidity that cause natural expansion and contraction of wood. To craft a wood product that will last for generations, John gives great attention to every phase of production including wood selection, drying, cutting, curing, crafting, and the multi-step finishing process that results in the smooth, elegant, lustrous finish for which the JLP products are known. Every product is personally overseen by John and must meet his standards before releasing them to Chess House.

Perfect solution to a common worry.

When I first learned about the design of this chessboard I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. This solution was the perfect answer to the common problem of the worry when transporting chessboards to tournaments. Because of the size of chessboards, these can get damaged when lugging them around in your car, etc. The Stack chessboard design was the perfect solution to this problem and I couldn't be happier to see this finally being made. Needless to say I had to get this no matter what and I'm glad I did. I love it...the weight, feel of the 4 pieces and look of the walnut and maple really popped out and made the chess pieces look more substantial. I hope the manufacturer considers making this in cherry and maple, golden rosewood and maple because if they do...I'm going to be forced to get another unit if and when that happens. Now if only they could offer this board and pair it with the US Chess championship set that was used in St Louis. Yeah, I know that would be an insanely expensive unit to have...but it would be just about the ultimate combination of functionally perfect chessboard design and pieces.

Joseph, Thanks for your enthusiastic endorsement of this unique board. I've got to admit, I love it myself (a bit biased since I designed it.)

Question for you: What sort of carrying case might be helpful? What would be your ideal design if supplementing the leather wrap and adding to it?

Quality product.

The craftsmanship is brilliant. It’s great to have a board that I can fold into a smaller form. Creating a travel case for the whole set, ready for staycations. A quality feel and weight to the board. A simple design that shows off the engineering of the wood. Very happy with my purchase.
