Don't take that for lady!

Magnetic Chess Piece Only. The figures in the checker are so small and non-magnetic. They also don't stack and they don't have crown images that make them the "king" in checkers. Also, the stones I received were more than one color and not enough of the other to be properly placed on the board. However, if you only use/want it for chess, that's great. The chess piece sticks to the board and you can turn the board upside down without the piece falling off and they move easily on the board!

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Poorly Thought Out

Surprisingly satisfied for such a cheap board!

Board arrived in good condition, all parts are missing. It's the perfect size for my needs, not too big (and not too small like most portable magnetic boards). The magnets are strong enough to hold the figures in place even when they're upside down (or when cats get curious). While I doubt I'll use checkers, they're not as bad as some reviews make them out to be and I don't care. they are not magnetized. This is a very functional and durable chess set at a great price. I would recommend and buy

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Ok

Great for chess but not for checkers.

I rarely write reviews but wanted others to be aware of the shortcomings of this set. First, I'm keeping it. The price was good for what I got and the chess piece is really decent for the money. Cons all with a part lady. First, they are not magnets like chess pieces. Second, they are quite small and very cheap. Third, since this is a travel set, I would like to see some organization or storage for these small, very light chips. I would pay more to add a few extras. I have no doubt that we will

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Clarity

Simple but high-quality magnetic chess with queens. Great value for money.

This set is great value and just what I was looking for to teach/play to my 6 year old. It folds up for easy storage and travel. Both chess and checkers are magnetic. Chess pieces look simple, but they are quite high quality and durable. Reviews on whether or not the stones are magnetic have been mixed, but the stones that came with my set were magnetic. The magnetic force isn't the strongest, but it's good enough to keep the pieces from falling on your head. Plastic hooks/tabs that keep theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

I love this board set.

Great travel set. I bought it for my kids who love to challenge other chess and checkers games. For the price it's really good quality. I am very happy with the size of the pieces and the fact that they are magnetic is a huge bonus. So often games get knocked over and pieces blown away. The patterns on the items are great too, they are not very simple and easy to distinguish from each other. Magnetic pieces are fun because they are slightly heavier than wooden pieces and slide well on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Expandable

Very good at such a low price

And no, the stones are not magnetic. Who needs checkers? I think I dropped her. First, all chess pieces are traditional, meaning no oddly shaped pieces. The board is a less traditional color but I like silver/black more than white/black, it's less eye straining. The board is well magnetized and all parts stick well. I turned the board over when it had pieces on it and shook it lightly and none of the pieces fell off. It is impressive. The box is a joke, but just throw it away. The board foldsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Minor problems

Fantastic chess pieces and board!

I almost didn't buy this item due to the many negative comments I read here on Amazon regarding the quality of the products (which is very important to me). Luckily, I decided to take a chance and place the order anyway, mainly because of the incredibly low price, but also because I just loved the look of the tournament-style Staunton chess pieces that came with this set. (Take a close look at some of the other travel sets you can find online. Those pieces don't look right.) Honestly, I don'tโ€ฆ

  • Consistent test results
