Travel Chess Sets

You're not taking your favorite wood chess set from home this time! Even if you requested isle seat 10C, it still won't fit - besides, it'll just plain look unintelligent. You'll need something a lot smaller!

Fortunately there are options and choices just for you! Balance your needs for size, folding, peg style, magnetic, and like features and you'll find a suitable chess set right on this page.

check out the Drueke travel chess set everyone loves!

Here's why you should check out the Drueke set! (that's said... "drookee" by the way)

It's compact (8x8" board, 9x9" overall)
It's durable (metal board, hard case)
It has very strong magnetics (you could throw the set to your friend in seat 7D or flip it upside down entirely)
It stores your chess position even with the airtight lid in place
Play with recognizeable staunton design chess pieces
And finally... one reason you might NOT like this chess set... all the pieces are about the same size!

Good travel set
Reviewer: Mark from UK

Most travel sets are either awkward 2D sets or have such tiny pieces you need a magnifying glass to see the board. This set is none of these things.The board is nice and big - too big for your pocket, but great for trains/planes/the park. Plus there's space for taken pieces around the edge. And the magnets do work.

Magnetic Chess
Reviewer: Michael from Milford, MA

The one and only greatest chess set to own besides a formal gorgeous wooden set. I have used on the train, in the car, beach - everywhere you may feel like practicing combos, openings, and generally ignoring everything else. For the true chess addict and practitioner!!!

We love this magnetic chess set. The chess board is clean and nicely finished allowing for sliding drawer storage of the entire set of pieces. We're impressed with the quality overall. the pieces are standard Staunton style and don't have great detail, but they are still easily recognized as Staunton pieces. You will find them clearly distinguished from one other. The magnets are strong enough to turn the board up side down and the pieces will still cling to the board surface. Overall it's a great collectible set that you can keep for years and enjoy as a travel or around-the-house mid range wood chess set.
