Does anyone know what size the wooden chessboards and pieces are that are used in tournaments such as the Wijk Aan Zee?

Thanks..........

Don't most major tournaments use DGT electronic boards and sets?

If so, the squares on the board are 2.25" x 2.25". The height of the King for such a board would be 3.75".

DGT boards are nice, but I just can't see paying $750... Eek

They do typically use DGT boards, but some bigger tournaments don't always use the standard DGT pieces. If it is something special they may use sets from someplace like House of Staunton that have been DGT enabled.
