Description

What We Like About This Chess Set

If you're looking for a handsome traditional wood chess set with a magnetic surface, look no further. Much closer to a full size board than a travel board, play is comfortable with plenty of room. Great for travel or outdoor play because the pieces are magnetized to the board so they stay put during game play. We include a storage bag, too (random colors of bag).


The board is crafted of the finest maple and walnut wood with an inlaid border for a smart, sophisticated look. The chessmen are made of high-quality maple and sheesham wood with a gloss finish. The board folds in half and the pieces store inside of the board for take-it-on-the-go ease.

    We gave this set as a birthday gift to our 10-year old grandson, who has recently joined the Chess Club at his school. He was playing on a cheap plastic set, so he was thrilled to receive this one. As his father put it, "This is a beautiful set that our son will be privileged to pass down to his own children." We love the fact that the pieces are magnetic, so you don't have "accidental" spills! The board, with its wallnut and maple squares, is stunning. We could not be more pleased, and it was a very proud Grandpa who was honored to play the first game on the set with his grandson and best pal.

    Yeeks, Cracks with slight Gaps!

    The chess set is well contructed and beautiful, except received with cracks in four white squares (with very slight curling away from substrate and gaps in two squares). [...]

    A Fine Chess Set

    By Roving Robbie

    from Bozeman MT

    Verified Buyer

    Pros

    • Fine craftsmanship

    Cons

    • The clasps do not fold up

    Best Uses

      Comments about Polished Walnut Magnetic Folding Chess Set:

      This is a very nice chessboard. The fit and finish are top notch and the pieces are nicely crafted. The magenetism is just enough to stick without being sticky.

      I'm not sure I'd carry this thing around - it's that nice and perhaps not terribly durable. Only time will tell

      Laying flat - I only wish the clasps folded up and perhaps there was some way of locking the board into the open position. Also, the underside where the pieces fit is exposed in the open position - so you can't just open this beauty on a rock or a table splashed with coffee. Make sure you really want a folding portable chess set.

      Service and delivery comments:

      Very prompt delivery. Absolutely no problems.

          Comments about Polished Walnut Magnetic Folding Chess Set:

          It's a nice set. Beautiful pieces and a nice board. I plan to take it to bars and cafes to play. The carrying bag (mine came in green) isn't that great... won't protect it from scratches (the board scratches easily). The set also doesn't have extra queens or knights should the pawns make it to the other end of the board. Overall, I'm very pleased with it though.

              This was a gift for our son-in-law, but his children are using it the most. The seven-year-old carries the game around, and with the magnets under the pieces, they don't slide or fall off the board. Those little magnets are a great feature!

                Nice set. I expected it to be a little heavier but the quality is still good. The magnets in the pieces help them feel a little heavier as you're playing. I'm happy with it.
