Review on Amerous Folding Standard International Magnetic by Adam Huper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent quality board and pieces, you may break a nail removing the pieces

This chess board would make a great addition to any home. The box it came in is quirky and well made so you can keep it in any room and it doesn't look like an old ugly box. When I opened it, I immediately noticed that it was made of a higher quality material than some other chessboards. I've been hesitant to buy a foldable chessboard because the hinge often misaligns or just wobbles and doesn't sit flat, but this board has none of the problems that foldable chessboards have. The parts are magnetic, as stated, and the magnetic field isn't too strong for them all to stick together, or too weak for them to not even be magnetic; The strength of the magnets is just right to withstand shocks. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that the foam used to hold the pieces inside when closed was not cut with the same precision as the rest of the board. If I could give it a 4.5 I would, but since it contains flaws, no matter how minor, I don't think it deserves a perfect score. Overall I think it's worth the money and it's a great board with well finished parts, you might just need to cram your horses in to store it.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
