Magnetic Folding Travel Chess & Checker Set - Small

Great travel board with evenly weighted pieces that stay in place.

The chess pieces that came with my Millennium Chess Computer Chess Genius Pro magnetically are crap they slid or are bumped from position very easily. So I saw these and thought I'd try them as they looked to be about the size needed for the job. Well they work very well and if you look at my photos you can see I'm actually holding the board up with one hand to take a photo with the original pieces they would have fallen off the board before I got anywhere near this angle.

Good travel set, not too small; I got it so that my wife and I could play on the couch while watching TV, reading, etc., so that the pieces wouldn't go flying if we moved or jostled the board in some way. The pieces do, in fact, stay on the board when it is turned upside down, but are not so magnetic as to be hard to move easily across the board or pull off.

Chess House, I got this product today. I love it! My Brother growing up had a similar set and we played all the time. This brings back very good memories. Thanks guys.

This is lovely to take on the road. The magnets make up for the pieces being small so it isn't even too bad to play blitz with, and are strong enough to remain attached with the board upside down. At home my daughter appreciates its small size. We put the checkers pieces in a small bag to get one or the other out, and they still fit inside with the chess pieces.

Great travel size, small enough to get into a backpack like a book but not so small as to impair play. Smooth moving pieces (magnet/ weight/ size) feel great on the board. Magnetic element necessary for travel situations as well as stability of smaller travel size pieces. Very pleased, and happy with value for price.

Good solid chess set. Magnets are just strong enough to keep the pieces in place while still making them easy to move around the board. Wish the board snapped into place when it's open, but it still works just fine without it.

May sound picky, but the black pieces are the exact same shade of black as the black squares on the board, and that makes the black pieces harder to see than the white pieces. Otherwise it's a great little board.

Grandson pleased with size and quality!

Many thanks.

Magnetic Folding Travel Chess & Checker Set - Small

I like the chess set however the magnets in the chess pieces could be stronger. Also the clasps to shut the chess set at the fold, are too strong. It would be better if the board opened and shut with magnets to keep the board closed.

I got my son the small magnetic set. It was larger and better quality than I expected. I nice surprise nowadays. Thank you. I’ll be coming back for a nicer set soon.

Pieces are easy to tell apart and magnets really hold them on the board.

Pieces are well made, easy to distinguish and securely held to the board with magnets that are not haphazardly placed. Very much worth the money!

Good price for the product.

While I will take responsibility for not fully reading the description, I can't believe the checkers' pieces are not magnetic. I bought this to use on trips, while traveling by plane or car and would have liked all of the pieces to be magnetic. It is a good size. The hinges on the board are flimsy plastic, so I don't expect they will last long but the case does snap shut. It's a nice board for the price but would not necessarily recommend--it's a lot of plastic including the packaging of all the pieces.

Passionné de jeu d'echecs, je suis dans un pays où il y a très peu de joueur, donc trouver sur place son parfait tableau est quasi impossible. Sur Chess House, je decouvre ce très beau tableau avec les caracterisques voulues ( la taille et la qualité du tableau et des pièces, et surtout le magnetisme...) c'est simplement magnifique ce tableau. Je le recommande à tous.
Vu la très grande distance entre chesshouse et de là je me trouve. Je n'espérais pas vraiment avoir en main propre ce tableau aussi rapidement que pensé. Le service a été impécable depuis l'achat en ligne jusqu'à la réception en main propre.
Merci Chess House.

I like the set
Bought two, one for me and one for my grandson
It is a good practice option, to be used anywhere, since the big set and board cannot travel

What a great investment for my travel set ! The Chess set is not to small or to big ,just the right size !
Im getting many hours of pleasure from my set !

I've ordered from Chess House before and am always impressed with their service. My chess sets where mailed quickly and well packaged. I own a total of six of this chess set in both the small and medium sizes and have given others as presents. The medium size is nicer to play on, but the smaller size fits nicely on my bookshelves. Plus the magnetization allows me to easily move the set: great for prolonged games. The only negative is that I would prefer a set of second queens to the inexpensive and non-magnetized checker pieces.

Quality product that folds away nicely for storage in a duffel bag or suitcase

This is exactly the kind of magnetic chess set I was looking for.

Although, the chess set arrived damaged in square A1. This is a nice set for analysis. You can sit at your kitchen, coffee, and end table to analyze your games without interrupting other people. The magnets are strong enough to flip the board upside down to where the chess pieces will not fall off the board.

The perfect size chess set for a lunchtime game with a coworker. If you don’t finish, the magnetic pieces will stay on their board positions atop a filing cabinet or in a drawer. [They even hold upside-down as I’ve tested!] The pieces and board are a nice weight and quality plastic. You'll be pleased to play because this is a classy set - in no way does it look or feel like a toy. The speedy shipping and customer service put You-Know-Who to shame.
Great game, Chess House!

Arrived on time and exactly what i was looking for. Also, great price!

My son is 18 and loves it. Really fast delivery.

I purchased this set for my grandson. The video was very informative and helpful in making a decision on what set to buy. My order arrived when the seller said it would and in good condition. I can't wait for him to open it on Christmas morning. I would buy from the chess house again!

I got a pair of these for my daughters to take away with them to college. It is just nice enough to not seem like a junky kid's toy and yet not too nice that they have to worry about getting it beat up if they take it with them hither and thither. Great piece at a great price. Thanks, Chess House.

The only issue I had that made me frown a little is that I got a coupon with the shipment that expired before my order had even arrived. That made me a little sad.
