Nice travel chess set. Pretty good craftmanship. A couple of nit picks though. The travel bag is pretty much useless. It is just a thin velvet like material with no draw string. Another thing, the two queens stand at about a 2-3 degree angle. I.E. not straight up and down. Its not much but once you see it, you can't not see it! lastly, one of the white pawns has a brown knot near the bottom that sticks out like a sore thumb(Thumbs down on that one) On the good side , the magnets work great, not too strong but strong enough. Overall, worth the price. Read more

Arrived earlier than expected, nice, packed very well. Nice wood, nice size pieces, nice felt on bottom of chessmen, overall a classy set. The pieces pack nicely into molded foam inside case. The board fits nicely into a quality lined bag for storage between games or maybe transporting to the chess club at school some day. Ten year old loves it, he is already beating me although I have 50 years more experience at chess than he does. Don't know about longevity yet but defiantly would buy again or as a gift. Read more

My son and I play chess every day. This is our third set of chess board. It doesn’t move smoothly if you slide pieces over. We like to play chess every where, so if it’s on uneven surface, it will tend to fall over. If it was magnetic, it would be amazing. Also when you put away the pieces, there’s no lock. If you don’t hold it carefully, the pieces will fall out. Read more

This was exactly what I was looking for as a gift for my girlfriend. The pieces and board are pretty good quality, and the pieces fit very snugly into the slots on the inside. As for the magnets, some are stronger than others so don't expect total consistency if you want to use this for travelling. For my purposes, this was exactly what I was looking for. Read more

Like the size and portability. Read more

The package got to be much faster than Amazon estimated. I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived 4 days later on Thursday, weeks before the estimated delivery date from Amazon. I was impressed by this because the package shipped from India. I'm in NYC. As for the board itself, I was immediately impressed upon inspecting it. Upon opening it I was a little confused and disappointed, because the board doesn't have a latch on the side to keep it closed as the product description picture shows. However, it has something much better that fits the theme of the set - magnets to keep the board closed. They are strong enough that I'm confident it wont accidentally open, but not so strong that opening it is at all difficult. Faulty latches is something I've seen on a lot of travel chess sets I've purchased in the past. The next thing that I see a lot of in travel chess sets that I didn't see with this one upon opening the box, is that all of the pieces were in their slots. That's with the set shipping all the way from India, all the moving the package around didn't get a single piece to fall out. I have other travel chess sets with identical looking compartments for their pieces, and when I take them off the shelf to use them they've got pieces falling out. You have to shake the board really hard to get the pieces moving when they are on the board, so I have no worries that the pieces will go moving around if you're in a moving car or something similar. When you put the board vertical, none of the pieces fall off but some of them do slide and get connected to the magnet of another piece. You can actually see this on one of the product description photos if you zoom in. When the board is placed totally upside down most all of the pieces fall off except for the pawns. That's completely reasonable to me though. I'm very happy with this purchase, and for the price it's a steal. It's actually going for three times as much on the manufacturer's website and I would be happy with it even if I paid that price. Read more
