World Chess Travel Chess Set

Simply beautiful, I just wish the magnets were a little stronger.

Very nice Travel Set

Like it a lot. Came in perfect condition and just works. Magnets work well and the magnetic closing mechanism is also great. The size also feels "just right" for travel and still feels absolutely great while playing.

Perfect travel set. Lovely and practical. The magnets are really strong enough to hold the pieces in place even upside down. The construction is excellent using joinery techniques such as dovetail joints. It is not obvious from the description on the site, but there is is a useful foam inset with places for storage of the pieces in the interior of the set. That can also be used for storage of captured pieces while playing in a moving vehicle, since there is no magnetic connection for the pieces along the edges of the board. For those trying to decide between this set and the larger travel sets, keep in mind that this set is already on the verge of being too large to use as a hand held or lap placed study or travel set.
