Review on Chess Magnetic Travel Folding Portable by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what we needed!

My girls wanted a travel chess that was light, easy to fit in a backpack and not too small. They planned to play on a plane from Blanc, Texas to Seattle, Washington. I decided to buy them this magnetic chess set. It's lightweight and folds in half for fairly compact storage. The set is made entirely of plastic. The plastic pieces have magnets on the bottom to stick to the board and they stick very well. See the photo where I turn the board upside down. I've seen magnetic boards that don't hold parts in place too well, so I'm very happy with this set in that regard. It also fits United Flight's retractable aircraft tray. For the price I am happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No machine
