It looks just like IM Mike Brooks vinyl Board.!
Leather board
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 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.
Have anyone experience with this leather board? not sure if it will remain flat
