Product Details

When it comes to travel you need a set that's portable in size with strong magnets to keep the pieces in place.

It's a pleasure to play chess on this set with beautifully crafted wood chessmen and matching board in Rosewood color. The magnets easily keep the pieces in place on the board even if it's tilted or bumped while in use.

Wood core printed board using new technology means the surface looks amazing, the product is durable, and the cost reasonable. Design allows in-play games to be stored and continued later, similar to the Drueke Travel Set.

34 Chessmen are handcrafted in India and finished in clear coat to display real wood grain Rosewood Color and Boxwood

Interrupted Chess

The design is perfect for maintaining pieces on the board when studying a game and you are forced to leave the game and move the board.

8” play keeper magnetic chess set

4” looks too small for a travel chess set. 12” is too big. This 8” play keeper magnetic chess set is my perfect. size 😃

LOVE THIS SET

This is a beautifully designed and well made set. The storage case (though bulkier than many travel sets) is extremely well made and feels very high quality. It also enable games in progress to be protected. The magnets on the pieces – and the board – are nice and strong and hold the pieces firmly in place. The finish on the pieces and board is also high quality. Overall, very happy with this product.

Such a fancy chess set.

I'm totally satisfied with this item. More than expected. Perhaps the most beautiful travel magnetic chess set I have. The case is absolutely perfect, the materials, the overall quality, even the odor! Very elegant. I put it in my office and looks great. Some people that don't play chess now are interested since they saw the chess set.

I use this set for analysis and I find it very comfortable. I use it, then I just close it and the position remains for another moment. The con is that it's not that portable, but it doesn't matter. Personally, I was looking for this set since before the pandemic, always unsuccessfully; now that is available again, I bought it immediately. For less than $80 is really a bargain. I love it. 2 extra Queens are included!
