Excellent quality and price

There is nothing wrong with that. Folds neatly and holds pieces in place. The print on the pieces is pretty accurate. Parts can be moved easily. Magnetic stand for storing parts that are not in the game. Contains additional white and black queens and two empty pieces. Attractive white interface with dark green squares. Folded in black with gold text. It appears to be made of vinyl over thin metal pads. Algebraic Notation. Excellent quality and value.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Speed

Great compact chess to take anywhere

My son wanted this chess for his birthday so he could take it with him instead of bringing his lovely wooden set. It's very compact - about the size of a check book - and definitely does the job. We've used it on the street, in restaurants, and on trips. The main thing that needs improvement is that it should come with a case. The magnets are not strong enough to stay on the board during shipping. I'm glad he has extra parts because he already lost one.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Hard to say

Nice set as is

I have a small travel set but wanted something quick and easy. I needed something I could take out and put back in very quickly so I could use it with my chess book when I had a few minutes to spare. This product definitely meets those requirements. Works as advertised and seems to last a while. As others have mentioned it would be nice if it held up on its own but I keep it in my backpack pocket so it's really not a problem. I definitely recommend it!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Damaged

You get what you pay for

Inexpensive chess set, but allows you to learn chess from a book at work when a full size set is impractical. However, I would not recommend it for normal gaming as it is of very poor quality. Pros: Magnetic pieces stick well to the board. Contains algebraic notation. Has a valve for storing items not used in game. Cons: Made from very thin, low quality vinyl. The parts are quite small and difficult to maneuver. (I can't even take them when my nails are freshly cut.) The board only closes…

Pros
  • everything is great!
Cons
  • So-so

Extremely thin and easy to carry in your pocket or backpack

The vinyl on this set is lightly ribbed like most others. However, they don't affect the playability or operation of the magnets, so they don't pose much of a problem. This style delivers the pieces to the sheet from which they are cut. The sheet sticks to the third tile, which is at the bottom of the board from the playing position. This method of holding parts is much more convenient than the way of dropping the parts into a clean bag. In this case, the parts can be fixed more securely in the

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • New competition arrived

making it easy to lose a piece against WE Games

I thought I had lost my original USCF green chess book and bought this WE Games Ultimate to replace it. I found the USCF Chessbook so I'll use that link in this review. Preferred: Ultimate Chess Book by WE Games. This disk is of great importance. The USCF is just a plastic section that makes it easy to lose a character in a game with WE Games. The Ultimate Chess Book of the WE game is slightly thicker due to this storage plate, but it can still be carried around. WE Games has one downside: the…

Pros

99.99% perfect! for games and accessories

My family LOVES this item. We have normal wooden chessboard, not suitable for travel, which looks good at home, but definitely not suitable for travel because it is big and heavy. However, this tiny thing is amazing and we can take it anywhere! The magnets are very strong and the pieces won't slide off the board when you pick them up (or snatch them out of your opponent's hands). The images on the chess pieces are easy to distinguish and even give you a few extra empty pieces in case you lose…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Easy to maintain
