Line 6:

A chess table is not necessary to play chess and is not restricted only to playing chess, but many chess players enjoy owning one as a decorative piece of furniture and a mark of their interest in the game, much as they feel about owning an attractive or fancy set of chess pieces.

Chess tables are typically made of solid wood with [[rosewood]], [[cedar]], and [[mahogany]] being the most popular. Exotic wood versionversions are also available.

Many cities and universities have chess tables in their parks and gardens. Many [[coffeehouses]] also have chess tables. Most are the size of a normal picnic table, although some are larger than life sets that use pieces that are about the size of a small barrel.
