Hi All! Please let us know your favorite board colors and pieces style when you are playing either live chess or online chess on chess.com.

I like the orange or green boards for some reason. And I usually go with the classic pieces. I imagine many of you probably would choose the same?

Will go with board=lolz,pieces=space.

Very nice choice, abbiewu2016! You should consider unblocking me.

Yup, Lofina, me too! Only difference is I sometimes use the orange too, but I like the light brown certainly.

I think they are scared to use the term "gray" so they call one of the colors "light" instead - I don't see that it's that light, nor does it produce much light...

I'm going to try marble for awhile and see if I can deal...

Yes, but when?

ChessPlayinDude47

You know, I'm finding the Neo pieces are a good alternative to the Classic. Anybody else use the Neo? I'm starting to like them.

I really like "Bubblegum" with the Alpha pieces. Very easy on the eyes and stylish IMHO:
