 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!!!

This is one of our favorite small wood and magnetic travel chess sets! Our local coffee shop has one, and people love to play chess on it every evening. It's not too small, yet small enough to fit on any table. Plus the pieces are magnetic and won't slide around. It's even got "algebraic" coordinates engraved in the edge of the board, a rarity for wood chess sets. Perfect for any traveling analyst! A tough plastic case, and metal playing surface make it virtually indestructible. This is an ideal size - small enough to fit a travel bag, and large enough to provide the ideal playing surface! Positively unique chess set combining the beauty and elegance of a home decor set with the tremendous features of a traveling tournament set!
