A perfect travel companion for all you chess lovers, this magnetic chess set will keep all the chessmen rooted on the chess set unless you make your move! The chessmen conceal magnets in their bodies and the board conceals an iron sheet, creating a strong magnetic pull between the chess pieces and the board, so you can play without worries. The pieces will move only when you make a move and not with the bumps in your ride. If playing at home, you can make your game last for days... The chess set is made from Indian rosewood, also known as "Sheesham" wood, a hard wood with beautiful natural grains. The chessmen are sized logically to match the size of the chess board and each piece has its own designated storage place within the board. This helps that the chessmen won't rattle when you carry the game, you do not loose any piece and it's easy to carry along. It's the best gift for children because it's an educational game and sharpens the intelligence. When not being played, it makes for an excellent decor piece and will match just about any kind of decor. It makes horse sense to own one and it's a great gift for anyone on any occasion! Everyone will just love this family board game.
