10.5" Magnetic Wooden Travel Chess Game

I loved this chess set so much that I bought 2 of them! Love the magnetizing pieces and the style of the board.

It’s not the biggest board but for someone with not a lot of space or that likes to travel with a chess board it’s perfect. We play matches on it regularly and I have no problem with piece size or square space. Really happy with the purchase!

Chess set is very nice looking. The magnets are not as strong as I imagined and a concern that Grandson will spill them when trying to move the set. The storage area in the back is not well made and the first time I opened the set and turned it over, almost all the pieces just fell out. Again, a concern he will lose pieces in the process. We will give it a test drive and see if we will keep it, may need to keep the pieces in a separate bag for safe keeping. More to come later.

On the plus side, the board feels substantial and looks nice. Feels substantial. Number grid is helpful for a person learning annotation.

The pieces are decent ( but not as substantial as with the 9" leather-board set we also got).

The downside is the storage. We got the set because the grandkid wanted storage slots for the pieces when not in use. There are slots in the interior of the box, but the plastic is thin and cheap and doesn't really hold the pieces.

Love the quality and the attention to details they put into this, and it's all made of wood. Each wooden chess pieces even have felt bottoms that perfectly cut (not sloppily like some other sets). Each piece goes in to it's form cut outs dedicated for each type and also made of soft material. When you folds it, it folds exactly the way it should fold and lock. But wait, there's a bonus. Chess pieces also fits perfectly for my Millenium Chess Genius Pro 2024 as well!

This wooden chess set is very beautiful, cute, lovely. "a perfect compliment to a lovely cup of coffee" in this set description is real.

This wooden set made by Sunrise exceeded my expectations. Very beautiful carved wood, textured board, marked ranks and files. Great storage for pieces and strong enough magnets for travel play. Tough enough for my 11 year old to play with his friends.

Very nice lap-friendly chess set. Good looking and dependably magnetized. For playing live, of course, but also fine for study or playing over games. In a manageable size. Like it a lot.

Came fast and looks pretty nice. Minor defect on mine. The hinge is off so one side of the board sits above the other. Fairly noticeable, but I don’t think it’s a common occurrence.

I bought this because I wanted the chessboard. Years ago, I purchased the 9” Milled Leather Travel Magnetic Chess Set with Wood Pieces from CHESSHOUSE and I am delighted to own it. The pieces are robust and beautiful. For home study, I wanted a nice annotated chessboard for it So I got the travel set that I am reviewing just to have the annotated board. It’s slightly larger than the leather board that came with my 9” travel set. For home use, it’s quite good for my those chessmen.

I love my new chess board! It is a perfect size to bring almost anywhere and I’ve already been taking it with me when I know I’ll have some downtime and someone to play with. The pieces are a really nice weight, thanks to the magnets, and the wood is lovely too. It is really a pleasure to play with - I’m so happy with it!

Perfect gift for our college interns. They're excited to learn Chess. Perfect size to take anywhere. Nicely made.

Arrived on time in good (new) condition. Matches the description and seems to be of good quality.

I've had this exact set for over 10 years now and it's held up great. The latch and hinges are still going strong and the magnetic aspect works very well. I like to take it car camping and it's the perfect balance between being compact/portable and still usable for those with large hands/fingers.

I was glad to see Chess House carried the replacement pieces as I'm down two pawns (and using pennies just isn't the same). I've just ordered extra pawns and will also add in some queens when they come back in stock.

I got this as a Father’s Day gift so my dad and I could play non-digital correspondence chess. I like that the set is fancy enough to be a gift set but also has the features such as the coordinates, the magnets, and the storage to make it a practical and convenient set. So far my dad seems to like it and we’ve been able to play regularly. The set is small enough for him to keep out in a common area of the house and the magnets protect the game from being jostled.

Craftsmanship and style is excellent.

great!

Had this chess set for a week now and enjoy it a lot. The look, the quality, and the feel of the pieces make this a quality choice for those who are looking for a portable, packable, playable chess set.

My great granddaughter wanted a small chess set that she could take when traveling. This set is the perfect size and is of good quality. I have no doubt that she's going to enjoy it very much.

This is a great set for taking along on a tip or for bringing to a friends house. The board and pieces are of high quality.

The travel magnetized board were bought with a standard size board. We thought it would be great for playing during lengthy flights. The magnet is easily moved but does seem to stay put with mild board shaking. Beautiful craftsmanship just like the larger set we ordered.

Perfect travel and home magnetic chess set . . . not too big . . . just right.

Great Set and service! My only critique would be to change the individual piece compartment material to rubber. Thanks again.

Great. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

awesome

Great Christmas Present for my 4 year old granddaughter, she loves playing chess, we enjoy playing together, again great gift for Christmas

Ideal para revisar partidas en viajes, sin que se rueden las piezas.

Good set for travel. Would be better if magnets in pieces were stronger. Am replacing mine with small rare earth magnets that hold the pieces in place even when board is turned upside down.
