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.

Amazing

The milled leather Chess set it is by far the best magnetic set available anywhere in the United States.

Best travel set!!

I just love this travel set. Everything from the leather foldable board to the wooden chess pieces. This is a must have! Thank you so much Chess House for you amazing service and products.

Nice travel set

I purchased this set albeit being a bit tentative based on 1. Other feedback concerning the strength of the magnets
2. Possible “curling up/not laying flat” of the chessboard

I put those feelings aside, and made the purchase anyway. I am satisfied with the strength of the magnets, and like the feel of the pieces overall.

As far as the board laying 100% flat, it does not, but it’s minor and also something you learn to live with because of the other pluses the set brings, the separate carrying case for the pieces, the larger overall case for the board and piece case. Just a well thought out set that doesn’t break the bank, but is a pleasure to use.

Great set! A few pieces have s weak magnet though.

Great set. Only deduction stems from not all pieces have an equally strong magnet to the board. There is no way you could flip my board over and have all the pieces stay. Even moderate tilting causes a few of the pieces with the weakest magnet to slide. But otherwise a high quality set!

Great travel set but not perfect

This is a great travel set. It is the perfect size for travel, small enough to be considered a true travel set but large enough that you can distinguish between pieces. The pieces are nicely made and attractive.

Unfortunately, the magnets are not strong on all of the pieces and prevent this from receiving a five-star review. A handful of pieces slide right off the board, making play on a train or in a crowded space untenable. I would be more likely to overlook this at a more economical price point.

The board is a great size. I would also buy a companion set of checkers to go along with this set as sometimes we like to switch between checkers and chess.
