There are 64 squares on a chess board, and half are black, so 32.
There are no rules or regulations for the 99.999999999% of the population that happens to play chess. But the tournament player is a bit more restricted by the rules. And the rules pretty much dictate that the chess board have 2 Â¼ squares, and the king from the set of chess pieces be between 3 Â¾ and 4 Â¼. In fact, the vast majority of tournament players use plastic chess pieces and roll-up vinyl or mousepad chess boards. These are quite inexpensive (even the most expensive of them). But don't get hung up on that fact if you are not a tournament chess player. Any size that fits your needs will be absolutely fine. When you are looking for a chess set for home use, you may find that a tournament standard chess set is simply too large. A wood chess board with a 2 1/4 square can be 20 x 20, which is not easily placed! Many will go with a 15 - 18 chess board with chess pieces that have a 3 king.
