The Colour-ado board
PixelatedPositions
The Chixel Board! (Chess and Pixel)
The Big Beauty
Resus chessboard
Resus-(resuscitate)
To revive and create a piece of art from scrapped things. He took all his scrapped woods and turned it into this magnificent chess board.
The release of the queens gambit series really gave a boost to Brad's business . Hope one day his boards are commissioned for the world championships .
If he is able to turn one if his boards into a Dgt board. They'll gladly accept.
What a fine piece of woodworking craftsmanship!!
Watching the video Brad talked a lot about small improvements over time, I think his board really encapsulates that idea. All the little improvements of his life have made him who he is and developed his skill. Just like in chess, or teaching or anything. Those small things make something beautiful, such as the variety of wood in the squares. Tiny pieces together making this sense of organized chaos. Surrounding it is the border of mahogany, which provides a firm holding over the chaos.
Le Chaos de Manitou
The idea of the name is how it is French for the chaos of Manitou, giving the board a real personal meaning to it through the name of the where your school shop is located and really putting an emphasis on the chaos helps through french translation
“Chesseract” as a chess board that looks from a 4th dimension! Hope you like it 🥺
A quaint and witty creation!
The work of Mr. Borkowski reminds me of crafting with Grandpa in his workshop. Fine, long gone childhood days...
Well, the pattern and wood reminds me of autumn in the forest...
So, here are my 3 suggestions for expressions:
-Saison-thew (Sunrise and its shadows on the Woods)
-Woody Amber & Fall's Leaves
-Sunny and shaded Foliage

These names are nature-based.
“Scraps of Kings”
It’s beautiful that it’s made out of many different pieces of wood, just like how every piece on the board. every single piece matters.
I dunno if they're gonna be looking at the comments on this video or the community post, but I'll put mine here as well just in case:
I like the sound of "Immortal Ashtāpada"
referencing the Immortal Game played in 1851
by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kiesertzcy
"Ashtāpada" is also the name of a game that
was essentially a precursor to Chess, and the
board it was played on.
These chessboards look soooo great!!!!Amazing!!!! 8:04 the border is 10/10.
The Art Of War
Pixelated
I really love the design on it and i wish everyone luck!
“The Kings Laurels” Since laurel is a type of wood and a symbols of victory
Board of possibilities
It defines how one move in chess can change the entire game and has a totally different outcome and it complements the boards ominous look and differentiations of wood
Good stuff 👍
"The Paradigm board"
The Whimsical Timber Checkmate Extravaganza
Brad's Gambitwood Champions Choice
Its so unique. It has to be a ultimate choice for chess champions
"The Mahogany Monarch"
The Equilibrium.
It is a perfect mixture of colours, texture and practicality
Great Story.
Great Skill
This is a very beautiful chessboard. It reminded Pablo Picasso’s abstract paintings. I think the “Picasso Art Board” would be a great name for this amazing chessboard.
The squares that are inside the squares
Very stylish work which I see here it has somethig of the pixel art touch in it!!!!! By taking 8x8 (or if ambitious 16x16 elements for chess players it should probably be a multiple of 8 or 16) for each square you could even really make pixelart ;-)
Zachery Saine's aka the chessnerd's board was included at the start.
The Majestic Checkerboard
Another ones:
- The Etherboard
- The Chessverse
- The Woodverse
(Beacause of the differents types of wood involved on the Design, the manufacturing and the final product. Also the multiple movements and plays that emerged on a macth.
All combined with the theory of the multiverse).
1) Mosaichess (Mosaic + Chess)
2) Color Mosaichess (Colorado + Mosaic + Chess)
It makes reference to all the elements of the chess board
- Visual impact
- The colorfull it is
- Design and designer
- Place in wich was assembled
And... it's creative too! 😃🙏
Great video, thanks!
My idea is "Grand-Maple", as in the GM title
Osm work keep it up
Chaos Confluence: The Handcrafted Heirloom Chessboard by Borkowski
How about “The Tempest Board”?
It captures the chaotic nature of the chessboard while also alluding to the stormy and tumultuous journey of the creative process. What do you think?
A Really beautiful Chess Board . The Best one so Far I wish i can have one because i dont have a board . So to be this my first ever chess board is amazing . GOOD JOB
Really a work of great detail. I'll call it "the multdimension board"
Mondrian64! The patterns in the squares remind me of Mondrian art like "Painting No. 9" or "Composition No. 3"...so it's gotta be 64!
The Fields of Chaos
In reference to the Pelennor Fields and, as Brad himself mentions it, the « chaos chess board »
"Tetris Maze" - When I look at the board, the first thing that comes to my mind is Tetris. Definitely a gorgeous design that would probably distract you while play on it. Great work!
"The battlefield"!!
Those are beautiful!
"The square battlefield"!!
I'm calling it "Mondrian 64." The chaotic yet beautiful arrangement of the squares within squares reminds me of the colorful art of Pete Mondrian.
The Temple Of Strategy.
No explanation needed
"Mind war field"!!
The disastrous path board
"The Rocky Mountain Majesty Chessboard"
"Structuring Chaos"
Because everything starts out as some form of chaos and by your hand or your teaching, you structure it, you make the chaos into something more.
Also because sometimes the game of chess can be quite chaotic.
And finally because you called your boards chaos board and as said before you structure this chaos into something more.
Woodine
I always feel like I'm dinning qhen I'm chess. Brad did it like he's cooking a menu. The final product is a world class.
I liked your board so much i made my own!
The board of opportunity
An amazing video, very suspenseful music, my idea for the name is
“Chaos Kingdom”
Chaos on Board
"Order and Chaos"
Congratulations! We have a winner! By decision of the Colorado Woodworker the new name of the board will be "Order and Chaos"! Please reply with your email in the next 24 hours to confirm and claim the prize!
I love the texture so going to name it
*The General royal board*
Energetic chess mind board
Sick boards, he's going to get inundated with requests after this. He'll have to start a waiting list.
It looks like a maze, sk it could be "The Royal Labyrinth" or "The Labyrinth Royale"
I had an extra table at home and from that I made a chessboard I draw the lines first then I painted the white tiles with Golden marker
Borkowski Masterpiece
❤ Lovely! Reminds me of Cubism, so how about ”Pichesso”?
Checker chess because it looks like a checker broard mix with the colors of the chess pieces combined.
Art 👏
Holtz Altar
Organized Chaos
The board is organized but also has a piece of chaos all in one chessboard.
Pieceful Coordination
I would go with "Colorado Choas" beautiful board
"Open Field" 🐼❤
“Checkmating chaos” - what a phenomenal looking board 🔥♟️
I will name it: "Infinite Imagination". Because only creative craftsmen can imagine and design that chess board. And just like in chess, grandmasters' creativity can lead to a genius move. It's all wrapped up in our imagination. I named it like that to send a message to those who have been and are playing chess that: "Each person has unique strengths and personalities, we should not be discouraged by difficulties, but let's explore our potential. of each person" because "Imagination IS UNLIMITED"
"Colobrado's Picasso" 😅
Just like Leonardo’s Monalisa or Michaelangelo’s David, Brad’s chessboard must be name The Battlefield. This is where the Kings and Queens played war games.
'Check to the heart" nice board!
“Colorado Chaos”
Royal Ascendancy (Mosaic) (Chessboard)-Brad Borkowski
"Royal Ascendancy" refers to the elevation or rise of a royal figure or dynasty to a position of power, authority, or superiority. It signifies the notion of an esteemed ruling family or individual reaching the pinnacle of their reign, often accompanied by a sense of grandeur, prestige, and dominion. In the context of a chessboard, "Royal Ascendancy" could be a fitting name, suggesting a board where the regal pieces compete for supremacy and strive to ascend to victory.
Name: "Whispering Shadows"
Story: Crafted from ancient, weathered oak, the chessboard holds the whispers of countless battles fought. Its worn surface bears the scars of victories and defeats, embodying the bittersweet legacy of forgotten champions and fading dreams. Each move echoes the fleeting footsteps of forgotten warriors.
" Board of Revelation"
"PIXEL OF CHAOS"
"Remnant Legacy"
Signifying a legacy artwork born from the remnants of its predecessors.
"Scrap Mosaic Board"
"Scrap Arena Board"
"Order from Chaos Board"
The Board of the Dreamers
"Pixelwood Chesscraft"
"The Rocky Mountain Chess Oasis"
"Nature's Strategy: The Colorado Woodland Chessboard"
"Wooden Haven: The Colorado Chessscape"
"The Wooden Pixelated Enigma"
"The Heart of a puzzle"

"King's greatest fear"
The Boardkowski
atm i am carving chess pieces out of wood for fun by using just a mora knife and sandpaper, maybe someday i'll have a full set.
would be 100 times faster if i had a lathe, but would they be considered handmade if i used a machine? i like to think i'll be more satisfied after seeing more effort.
Bard's Canvas
Here are a few suggestions for naming a woodworked chessboard:
"Eternal Checkmate"
"Timber Tactics"
"Artisan's Battle Board"
"Masterful Moves"
"Woodland Warfare"
"Strategic Splendor"
"Craftsman's Checkered Kingdom"
"Regal Resin Board"
"Enchanted Expanse"

The Pandemonium Chess Board
"Chataranga" which is the old name "shatranja"(chess in Hindi) and chatur mean 4 and ranga means colour (chatur + ranga). As origin country of chess is India the word is from Sanskrit language. This is the best chess board I have ever seen in my life. Whoever gets this I going to be very lucky.absolute masterpiece.
Name for the chessboard - Enigmatic Kaleidoscope
"Chaos Contenu", meaning chaos contained in french. I belive this is a fitting name for the board with a chaotic inside surrounded by a beautiful mahogany.
Mr. Brad Borkowski mention the world chaos. That's why "Vigrid" is may be a suitable name for this Beautiful Chaos chessboard.
I think "Glitherx" for the mixing of color!
Great board! Looks just as chaotic as my thinking proces during a chess game....
I will name it: "Miracle". Because only skilled carpenters can do miracles that are hard to imagine. It is the beauty that shows the limitless human imagination! Both in the fighting style of each chess master.
Carré Soixante-Quatre
“The Checkered Realm”
"Brad chess field"!!
Lovely.
