It looks just like IM Mike Brooks vinyl Board.! Cool

Not to change the topic but if you want a board to lay flat even after a year rolled up and always look brand new then try one of these. This is the BEST VINYL I have even found.  I have no affiliation with the Chess House at all. These boards well out as fast as chronos clocks do.

I just ordered the Green and Gold from Chesshouse, I will put my comments when I received it

I have both now and both on the back have "Genuine Enduratex" which I believe is the reason it is so supple.  Those are the only two boards I was informed that are made of this particular vinyl.

I go with mousepad boards, Stay flat forever, They're thick, durable and easy on the eyes. Plus pieces don't slide and they sound better with a more satisfying feel when moving pieces. imo

I also have the mouse pad. It does stay flat forever but so will this top of the line vinyl.  The only drawbacks I have found in the mouse pad are it smells like the Akron Rubber Co. and it does stain and the stains are super hard to get out if not impossible.  But I do own one and I am fine with it but just can't take the smell while playing.

Their regular Premium vinyl is made at least from the same company, same Geniune Enduratex on the back too.

If you are interested in really high end chess boards than take a look at these. http://conquestleather.com/

Are you affiliated with Conquest Leather?  You just necro'ed 3 threads that are 17 months, 10 months and 5 months old, respectively, to "advertise" a company, so I admit that makes me curious.

He planned on necroing 10 threats but then decided he'd like to be "subtle".

Lol!  And the answer to my question is, yes, he's the registered business owner of the company.  Or so says my Innerwebtubes Sleuthomatic.

I know this is a ridiculously old thread, but I am dying to know: does anyone know if those “premium vinyl” enduratex backed boards are still made anywhere? I have one I got back in 2010 and it is by far my favorite and I can’t find any like it anymore.
