The draughtboard is composed of 64 squares, alternately light and dark, in an 8×8 array bounded by a neutral border (WCDF Rules of Draughts, Section One).; The official board colours are green and white (or off-white/cream) (WCDF Rules of Draughts, Section One).; Squares measure 44–51mm per side ...
Why people argue about this
People often assume that the exact dimensions of 44-51mm per side for the squares are meant to be a precise measurement, leading them to argue over whether their board meets these specs or if it's acceptable within the rules' tolerance. The official verdict actually clarifies that these measurements are approximate, allowing some variation in size as long as they fit within this range.
