SyraceMagnetic Chess Set Board Games Age 12+, Wooden Folding Hand Crafted Portable Travel Chess Board Game Sets with Game Pieces & Storage Slots For 2 players

Got this as a gift for my son who is 9. He takes it everywhere. Very light and compact,very well made and beautiful set. Would 100% buy again

Lightweight, looks good, nice size and magnets work well. Great set.

This is a beautiful wooden chess board with pieces that fit perfectly into their foam cutouts inside the board itself. I love that it also includes matching checkers pieces. The chess pieces are magnetic and have a felt bottom to allow them to stick to the board and slide around easily. However, the checkers pieces are just wood with no magnetic bottoms or even felt on the bottom. When you move them they make a scratching sound due to the wood moving on wood. The checkers pieces also fall out of the foam when you flip the board over to set up the game of chess so you'll have to remove the checkers pieces every time you want to use the board which is why I gave this 4 stars. If the checkers pieces had felt bottoms I would have given it 5 stars.

Can't say enough good things about this chess set. I bought it as a gift for my husband and he absolutely adores it. The magnetic board is really amazing for ehen you want to play on the go. The pieces are nice and sturdy and is also an amazing and elegant decor piece.

Bought this for an 11 year old-he was delighted. He plays with our traditional set ( when he can find an opponent, and this little set is similar, and remarkably good quality, especially at the price.

The board itself is quite nice but the bit around the outside (where the lock is) looks almost plasticky, I can't work out if it actually is wood or not. It feels very light too, which could be a plus but personally I'd have liked it to feel a bit weightier. The board is well put together though and folds flat.The pieces are nice to handle although a bit roughly made - one queen had a chip out of it. Overall, I think it's reasonable for the money but I certainly wouldn't say it's a bargain.

Perfect size, portable, comes with an extra Queen and it has a sponge with holes for pieces so it doesn't rattle when you carry it around. No magnets on the classic version though.

Great quality for a new player!
