Printable chess board
This is a plain 8 by 8 chess board that fills one sheet. The dark squares are light grey, so it prints well and does not use much ink.
Turn on the letters and numbers to learn square names like e4. Turn them off for a clean board. Add a title and a season border if you want it to look nice on the table.
