I asked a chess reseller whether he couldn't sell 10x10, 8x10, and
gustavian boards by retail. After all, he is selling the Seirawan piece
set so he could improve sales of this by selling chess variant boards. But
he couldn't even produce vinyl board mats because these would cost $50
each while the interest is so low. It is strange that I cannot buy variant
board sizes anywhere, except European draughts boards (10x10) that cost
around 40 pounds, excluding shipment and VAT.
