For pieces, I have a regular Staunton set, plus three different modern
style sets. In addition, I have the three Exchess sets (see
http://www.superchess.nl/ for available sets), so I can mix and match
pieces as needed, and they are pleasing to play with, being medium quality
wooden sets.
Boards are a bigger problem, which I haven't solved to my satisfaction.
I recently purchased a table saw for a home improvement project, and I am
considering making a couple boards in common sizes like 10x10 and 10x8.
