15 Inches Magnetic Wooden Chess Set - 2 Extra Queens - Folding Board - Pieces Storage Slots, Handmade Portable Travel Chess Game - Beginner Chess Set for Kids, 6 up Age

Fantastic chess set! It looks much more expensive than it is, with quality felt details and a board that folds up for easy storage. The magnets are just strong enough to keep the pieces in place when moving the board without making them difficult to play with. My kids played with it all weekend and loved it. Beautiful set, great price, and highly recommend!

This chess set has been a great addition to our house. The first thing I noticed was how nice it looks. The wood has a good quality feel to it, and the set looks nice enough that I’ve been leaving it out on our coffee table rather than putting it away after each game. That has actually ended up being one of my favorite things about it. Since it’s sitting out and ready to play, I’ve noticed my kids playing chess a lot more than they did before. They’ll just sit down and start a game, which I love. The magnetic pieces are another big plus and have been a huge hit with everyone. The magnets are strong enough to keep the pieces from sliding around if the board gets bumped, but you can still move them easily during a game. I also really like the storage design. Each piece has its own spot inside the folding board, so it’s easy to keep everything together and see right away if a piece is missing. The extra queens are a thoughtful addition too. Overall, this is a really nice combination of looks, quality, and practicality. It works well as a family chess set, and the fact that it looks good sitting out means ours is getting much more use than I expected.

Beautifully made and excellent quality. The chess pieces are sturdy, well-crafted, and the set has a classic, elegant look. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Very nice set! Bought more than year ago, use it a lot but it still looks perfect! Magnets work fine, and storage for pieces is very comfortable to use!

Nice case with foam sections to hold chess pieces. Gave it 4 stars bc it scratched pretty easily. Chess pieces seem well made

I got this chess set for my 11-year-old who’s really into chess, and honestly, it’s been a great buy. The quality is solid, and the magnetic board is super handy—pieces stay in place even if the board gets nudged, which is awesome during car rides or just moving it around. It’s also really lightweight and easy to throw in a backpack, so it’s perfect for taking on the go—whether it’s to school, a friend’s house, or while traveling. Overall, we’re both really happy with it. Great set for kids or anyone who wants something portable but still well-made

We got this set on sale for $25. It would definitely be worth more than that. The set is easily portable, has a great set up for clean up, has good sized pieces, all the pieces plus an extra queen, and comes with instructions. If you’re interested in a starter chess set to see if your family likes the game enough to put money into a really fancy custom set, then this is for you.

Overall, absolutely recommended and the reviews are spot-on. Great to hear that their support is also amazing! My only critiques, my 9yo mentioned that the wood square the board/prices fold into could use a handle on it, to carry it easier. Wouldn’t look as nice though, I understand why it doesn’t have one, not a big deal at all unless you’re constantly traveling with it, unlikely. The only other thing is (keep in mind I know nothing about chess) as I understand it there’s a universal chess letter/number “grid”, like a-1, a-2,b-3 etc., that helps you know “where you are” on the board, to make it a little easier to learn specific moves/patterns in the game, which seem to be included on most instructional videos online. Be nice if these numbers/letters were nicely painted (or whatever) onto the board somehow, in an understated way that wouldn’t look too cheesy (I don’t think?). That’s all I got... it’s an amazing set and would make for a wonderful gift as even the (sealed) cardboard box it comes in is extremely elegantly designed. Also the fact that the pieces are magnetic, to me, seems to be a huge benefit. So satisfying having the pieces stick perfectly with each move. *The following is not related to this item in particular, related to chess more broadly - By the way, although my 9yo is a bit atypical in terms of what he likes (e.g. playing chess, apparently) he REAlly likes this set, and playing chess, way more than I would have anticipated, especially now that he’s been exposed to it. His 4th grade teacher went out of her way to specifically recommended I buy a chess set for my 9yo son, something about the way he thinks, that she’s observed. So, maybe your child will like it too. I do see tremendous value in how the game of chess challenges your mind in unique ways, over multiple “threads”, all at once. Not to mention, it’s a Game, and is fun! Adults, remember to “handicap” yourselves at first when playing a child or someone new, simply pull out your queen, or your rooks, or nights, or something, to start with. To me this seems almost required, to be more fair, when playing with a child/someone inexperienced. I’m a horrible player that barely remembered the rules, didn’t handicap, and to be honest smoked my 9yo, mostly because I was able to get away with very ‘aggressive’ moves, very early, moves that a more experienced opponent would have likely easily identified and squashed. So, I would say either handicap yourself, or, actively work on behalf of your opponent throughout the game, to help identify moves for them to take you out. There were multiple turns that passed, where my (9yo) opponent had a piece sitting there able to take mine out, because he’s young/inexperienced, and I wasn’t paying attention to his potential moves as closely as I could have been, multiple turns went by until we both noticed, and he took my piece out. Didn’t think I was going to get into ‘how to play chess with a child/inexperienced’ in my review of this item, but there it is. Excellent item.

Very good quality, and the kids love it!

This is a really nice chess set. The pieces look great and feel solid in your hand. The board is well made and easy to store, making it perfect for home or travel.

Good quality.

The chess set is not magnetised as describe when wanted to purchase! no 2 extra queens aa promised! Pure scam. I want a refund!

مجموعة شطرنج بحجم ممتاز جداً والقطع الخشبية مصقولة ومصنوعة بإتقان عالي وبخامات متينة، وأعجبني كثيراً أن القطع مصفوفة بالداخل ومحمية بأسفنج ممتاز يعطيها شكلاً مرتباً وأنيقاً ويحافظ عليها من الخدوش، كما أن رقعة الشطرنج تأتي بقفلين حديديين بشكل جميل وقوي مما يجعلها مناسبة جداً للسفر والتنقل، وتصميم اللوحة كلاسيكي ومريح للعين أثناء اللعب والتركيز حيث لا توجد حروف أو أرقام مطبوعة على الحواف مع تباين ممتاز وواضح في ألوان المربعات والقطع، وتأتي كذلك مع وزرين إضافيين للترقية وهي ميزة رائعة، لكن مشكلتها الوحيدة هي أن المغناطيس ليس الأفضل والقطع تلتصق مع بعضها بشكل مزعج أثناء اللعب ولو استطعت أن أزيل المغناطيس تماماً لازألته، ولكن إجمالاً المنتج رائع ويستحق أربع نجوم.
