This was Evan's first overnight camping trip to Deer Park in the Olympic mountain range of Washington. One mile above sea level, near the straight of Juan de Fuca he took in breathtaking views in all directions. That evening we played some chess with this set.

great product

I collect chess sets, from small to elegant wooden tournament sets. This leather chessboard is well made, and as stated in the ad, the pieces stay on the board even when tipped over. I will be using this as my travel set from now on,

Superb Travel Set

I just received my leather set. Thank You so much. Everything is perfect, I was skeptical about the extra queens and purchased one of each color, only to find that the set DOES include extra queens for you guys out wanting a set like this. I really like the size and materials used. It is real leather and the magnets are reasonably strong enough. I bought it for analysis and use with my extensive chess library. I'm currently doing tactical books(Tal & J.Polgar) as well as replaying games collections. As for the excess material complaints I've read from past reviews, about the the board not laying flat. There's a trick to it.....I simply unfold the board & stretch out the outer leather gently from the the center on outwards throughout the entire board to the sides towards the players edges. The slack is what eventually aids the whole board to lay flat even without the weight of the pieces. I love it!!

Love it!

The board and pieces are well made. The bags make it easy to travel with. I was pleasantly surprised by the magnets. it’s strong enough to hold the pieces but not so strong that you have a hard time moving them. LOVE IT!!!
