Great price and portability

Nice construction with correct coordinates. I bought a few to use as gifts or prizes at the school chess club. Ideal for game analysis.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Slightly torn

MARVELOUS! good for travel play

This product had ALL the parts (contrary to one of the commented reviews) and the magnets worked GREAT! I turned the board upside down and none of the parts fell off, was very nice, this product is a must buy, especially for the price. Also, the board is bigger than I expected which is a bonus!

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Crumpled

Works well but magnet could be a little stronger

I use it to keep track of chess problems and books. This works fine for this purpose, but I have two suggestions. One for the manufacturer: makes the magnets stronger. One for the user: grab a binding clip to use on the bottom of the board to hold the two wings open. Makes the system much easier to use.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • In stock

Works best in travel games

My son enjoys playing chess. He always wants to play it and challenge his extended family. It's perfect because he can travel anywhere with us. Pieces stay in place while playing. He can't wait to play with his little brother on long car rides. I love that they don't just play electronics on long car rides.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • No gun

Good chess set from Travel Games

Received this set to replace a smaller magnetic travel game that was beginning to peel off the edges. This chess board is very high quality and durable. At first my kids struggled to master the bar, but they figured it out. The details are easy to see, the magnets are strong. The instructions were a bit vague but humorous. It won't teach you how to play chess, but the set is worth the money.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors

With this set you can play chess upside down lol

My son just joined the chess club and wanted a chess board to make it more practical and to be able to take it everywhere without being bulky or cluttered to be. This set is perfect. 10"x10" is big enough for his little hand and mine. The main reason I bought this set is the magnetic parts. Now I don't have to worry about it accidentally scattering pieces when it falls on the table and it's great for travel. The only small flaw I notice is the magnet on the bottom. While playing a few games I…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Little repairable

Better than requested

This is good when used on a level surface that keeps the board flat. It would be nice if it came with a magnetic box to drop pieces that are no longer on the board. In addition, a locking mechanism is desirable to keep the board openly flat when playing on a machine without a large enough flat surface. Pieces can be lost when playing in a car, and when I swap the board between me and my opponent both hands should be free to hold the board flat, to put it on my knees, or to close it in the…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • So-so

Nice travel set. for travel games

This game is a great travel set. The pieces are really magnetic so they won't fall off the board when hit. The magnet isn't too strong, but it can hold the pieces on the board even if they're upside down. The quality of the figures is what I would expect from something in this price range. It certainly looks good and would be great for travel. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because there is no way to secure the pieces in the closed set. The interior is completely empty and open. I would like

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Disappear
