LOL I knew you would look....dirty 😞

Seriously though...Does studying with a board and pieces that is a lot smaller than the one I use in real tournaments make a difference?

Really, you should get a set that is tournament size anyways. There's a reason they are that big, it's so you and your opponent can see the board and the piece relationships better.

They're pretty inexpensive, too!

I have 30 different sets. 4 of those are tournament sets.

I just don't have room in my tiny apartment.

I have one of those $5 magnetic sets that fit in your back pocket. Its great for when I'm waiting at the dentist or screwing off at work
