Thanks everyone, I'm trying out with the shapes then.
 For the individual squares I'm making one #declare, then using the objects.
However, in this way, the texture is always the same (I'm using a
woodgrain), which, when you consider 19x19=361 squares + the outside of the
board, gets quite repetitive.  Is there a way to have it switch textures
whithin the same object? Or do I have to create several objects?
     Or I suppose I could make a 1-piece board with a single texture, remove
a groove (sounds pretty slick hehe, 'remove the groove', sorry back to
reality) for the grid and have that inlaid?
   thanks again and for the patience!
