Magnetic Travel Chess Set with Folding Chess Board Educational Toys for Kids and Adults, 2 players

This is an awesome and solidly built set at a great price. It feels pretty good and I appreciate the light and portable design, and especially the magnetic pieces. The significantly raised edges also protect the surface of the board when it lies flat. I use it at least once a week to volunteer at a nursing home and play matches with the residents.

PERFECT. Just what we were looking for. Perfect size for travel, lightweight and simple design. If you have a kid/teen (or a clumsy girl like me) who likes chess - gift them this one. You can even turn it upside down and the pieces will not fall. Good quality for price

Sometimes, even more important than the quality of a product, is the quality of the Customer Service assistance that guides a company. Firstly, this particular Product, as I’m sure all others must be which they manufacture and market, is Top Notch, tons of fun, and everything the company advertises it to be! The proof is in the pudding when it comes to customers with issues that go beyond the point of sale, however, and I can attest that this company adheres to their policy of making sure their customers are totally satisfied to the fullest extent. I want to single out and applaud Daniel for a moment: This gentleman was sincere, honest, forthcoming, and reassuring in his follow up messages. There were a couple of pieces missing, and Daniel assured me that as soon as I provided my address he would replace those parts. Well, he went above and beyond that by ensuring that should I misplace or even break a piece down the road I'd have no worries, as he provided full replacement pieces to correct the packaging's earlier deficiency. They were delivered a mere three days after he took down my address. As an added bonus, the set comes with an easy to understand Rules of Chess card, which will make it simple to explain this centuries old game to any person of any age; whether they’ve ever played chess or not. I will not hesitate to recommend, not only this portable chess set, but Daniel, and the company he represents.We are having so much fun playing chess, and the facts that we can pick it up and take it with us wherever we go, and that its magnetic field is purposefully and perfectly designed, gives us that much more Joy. Thank You, THANK YOU -- for making this right, and know that we'll be ordering several sets for gifts as time goes on!

Looks good and cheap ish but not exactly. Very good for the price, love it, but wish a few things. I wish there was a better way to store the pieces, a second queen, and something to hold the chest board more flat. Also the magnets a bit stronger. Despite all that, magnets are good enough to stay in place even after moving it fast. That is no reason to have them stronger but I thought they would be stronger. Very good for the price. Of course you can buy better ones for double the price but this is really good actually. Don’t exactly need this but would keep it since it’s pretty nice and portable. Any kid can use this and learn it as long as they know not to swallow or put things in mouth.

Much praise has already been heaped on this nifty little set, so I'll just contribute my two cents quickly.The board is made from a fairly sturdy plastic that feels solid in the hand when folded for travel. The playing surface looks and feels good and is well-aligned. When folded, the set has a minimal footprint and can be stored horizontally or vertically.The pieces are smallish but are shaped and finished well. I've done the upside-down test, and yes, they stay. I really like that the pieces came with a cloth bag for transport inside the folded board; this, combined with the magnets in the pieces, means that this set doesn't rattle much (if at all) during transport, which is an unexpected but welcome feature.The playing surface is a little small, but it's a travel board. Everyone who's played on it so far doesn't mind the size, so I'll go with player reaction here as a good litmus test.I wish there were some way to lock the board in the open position, but other than that, I'd say this set is a pretty great deal at this price.

Great little travel game. Especially for camping
