Travel Chess Set 3 in 1-10 Inch Chess Checkers Backgammon Set Magnetic - Travel Board Games Portable Travel Games

I looked over all the magnetic chess sets on Amazon, and decided on this one because the size (when opened) was small enough to fit on a little tray table that I use, but large enough that the pieces wouldn't be too small and fiddly. I also liked having the three games: chess, checkers and backgammon. My biggest concern was that the pieces would look cheap and flimsy.As it turns out, the pieces are quite lovely and solid, even though they are plastic. They're finished nicely; no rough edges or burrs. And the black and white colors are uniform -- no weird changes in tone. The checkers/backgammon pieces have their own holders, one for black and one for white. And everything fits neatly into the closed case, which snaps shut securely. The squares on the board are also marked along the borders: A-H (white), H-A (black), 1-8, and 8-1.As far as the magnets, they seem very secure. The pieces stay in place with no sliding on a slope, so the set would be quite usable in a car, train, plane, etc. However they are probably not strong enough to hold if the board is dropped. Which is probably a good thing -- too strong and you'd have to wrestle the pieces for each move.All in all, this set seems like an incredible bargain, and I'm quite happy with the purchase.

Nice little chess set. Use it to teach my wife (numbered squares) and to practice or follow my chess while online so I can better visualize game without having to get my big set out.Magnetics are good and pieces won't dislodge even if you move it vertically. Nice little case for folding up. You can't beat it for the price!

Love the ease of storage for all the pieces inside the board

I thought it was nice, I ordered it from my son, he plays and I wanted him to relax. He lives in texas.

Nicely molded men without flaws. Folding board lies quite flat on the table, its squares are true and ranks, files, and diagonals align perfectly. Magnets are inserted into pieces same pole out, so the pieces do not attract each other and clump up when you put them back into the folded board. Worth buying.

I have ordered this chess set to start teaching about the game to my kid. It is small and cute. The pieces are of good quality, and it is an amazing travel set. I highly recommend this product.

Got this for my son and I to play chess. We take this on all our road trips. Magnetic pieces are great

Gave me two black queens and no black king. The box is a little wimpy but it’s awesome regardless.
