About The 20" Vinyl Roll-up Chess Board
Thanks to a vinyl roll-up chess set from Chess House. This roll-up chess board can lie flat on the ground when you’re ready for play and be rolled back to its storage after your game.
This chess set doesn’t include chess pieces, giving you versatility in its customization whenever you take it out to play. Chess House offers a variety of chess pieces, including the standard 3 3/4" tall plastic club chess set, weighted pieces, and themed chessmen.
Key Features of the Roll-Up Chess Board
- Tournament-Ready: When laid out, the vinyl sleeves become chess boards of the right size–whether for a casual game or a more intense competitive match.
- Durable and Lightweight Build: The vinyl roll-up chess kit is made of thin and durable vinyl that becomes smooth bards when laid flat.
- Easy Storage: The vinyl chess set is cloth-backed for easy storage.
- Available in Different Colors: This vinyl chess set is available in four colors: green, brown, blue, or grey.
- Chess Pieces not included: This roll-up board doesn’t include chessmen, leaving it to you to choose your preferred pieces–whether it’s a king with added weight for style or colored ones that match the color of your vinyl board squares.
Product Specs
These boards are perfect for teaching kids of all ages to play chess. Easy to explain the basics. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a starter board. Easy to store too!
I ordered two boards, which were shipped tightly rolled up together, in the shape of a tube. One of the boards arrived damaged with creases that do not go away. (See the attached picture.) I cannot say this happened in transit, because the other board was undamaged. The marks are not disappearing after two weeks of keeping the board flat. Not happy about that.
There is also a problem with both boards. They are advertised as having a square size of 2 1/4 inches. That is incorrect. The square size is 2 3/16 inches. The squares are smaller than advertised. This is noticeable in the relation to the size of the pieces, and also in a smaller playing area: the difference is multiplied by 8 in each dimension, amounting to about 1/2 inch. The total size of the board is 20 inches as advertised, but the margin around the playing area is thicker than it should be due to the shrunk playing area.
If you have never purchased vinyl boards, be advised that they emit a strong and unhealthy chemical odor. You should let the boards degass for a few weeks before allowing them into your living spaces.
Once the boards have released their noxious gases, they make good playing surfaces. I bought from Chess House because it is the only place I know that sells them with the dark squares in a light grey color. This color makes an excellent contrast with both black and white pieces, and is pleasing and relaxing to look at while playing.
….still a nice product
Hi Joe! We checked on the shipping performance from WA to LA via First Class Mail. It was shipped on April 9 and arrived on April 15 (Tuesday order to Monday delivery). Thanks!
Quality roll-up board that is durable and lays flat. Reduced glare when playing long games or analyzing games at home. Good selection of colors.
The roll-up chess mats are perfect! We purchased two, along with pieces and bags.
