Magnetic Travel Chess Set by Yellow Mountain Imports: Perfect Portable Entertainment on the Go! Review

I ordered two sets one was a 9 inch chess set the other was a 6 inch chess set. The 9 inch chess set is immaculate. The 6-inch chess set's legs were broken and pushed into part of the board for storage. The factory just put it in a chess game and shut it down. It's only $7 for a small set. You don't have to pay for the return shipping. Small feet stabilize the board while playing. I got so fed up I threw it away. I tried gluing, it didn't work. The big 9 inch chess is great, it works, I keep it

I'm just learning to play, but my daughter, mother and fiance often play together. Every time I've played one of my fiancé's boards I've knocked the pieces off or mixed them up because they were too similar in the way they were cut. This board can be held so that the pieces are perpendicular to the ground and still not move! Details look beautiful and are easy to distinguish. The board works great; However, it is better to install it on a hard surface, otherwise the gap will be noticeable. The…

Some small analysis kits are too small, but this one is just right. You can put it on a desk, bookshelf or desk, etc. and leave the chess position there for later study or studying.

I wish the dark parts were brown instead of gold, but this appears to be a gold and silver themed set. The figures slide easily on the board thanks to the felt underside. When I opened it I…

Sweet chess. I bought these for my kid as a set for travel and school lunch. After 7 months of moderate use (a few hours a week) it's holding up well. It does what it's supposed to do: it's a small but playable, low-cost chess game with coordinates that travel and cause no grief if lost, destroyed, or stolen. The magnets are strong enough to prevent parts from falling off with a little shaking or moving, but they don't quite stick to the board. A small note: although the kit was always securely

I bought several of these sets about 1.5 years ago and the quality has been very good. I have to admit I was impressed. These sets come in handy when I play correspondence chess online. I set up several small chessboards to analyze the moves in some of my games. A few weeks ago I decided to order two more sets as gifts. After reading some reviews recently I decided to open the boxes to make sure there weren't any problems. To my great surprise, the chess pieces in both sets were full of…

I bought this as a Christmas present for my child. After all the use I can say it's holding up a lot better than I expected. In this price range it fulfills everything I expected and does not fall apart easily. Pros: Silver and gold are very different colors. Other reviews mention that this is not the case. Maybe the package has changed. But mine is exactly like the photo. Very silver and very gold in almost every light. The strength of the magnets is sufficient for use in the car and on uneven
