 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

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!!!

It doesn't look like a chess set until you open it. Easily slip it under a pillow, your seat cushion, glove box, or other quick places. Shouldn't take you more than .98 seconds to close and slip into your pocket. Less than 1/2" thick when closed you can fit the small metal chess set in your pocket. When it's open for play, the set measures about 7 inches. Magnets are strong. Flip the set shut any time you need to save the game. This unique well-crafted miniature chess set is in a class of its own. The solid wood peg board and piece storage area fold with a brass hinge and are held closed magnetically to form a compact portable chess set. For those players needing a smaller chess set, this 14" square chess set fits in most places your standard set wouldn't. Packing it along for travel chess, or bringing it to school is so much easier with a smaller set. A 9x7" vinyl chess bag lets you store the pieces safely.
