Description
Chess Board Game with Magnetic Chess Pieces and Foldable Wooden Chess Board for Travel
-
Pieces stay put on the move: magnetic chess pieces hold their squares on a train, a flight or a car journey
-
Nothing goes missing: the board folds shut with all 32 pieces stored in the built in storage compartment
-
Room to play a proper game: the full 11.8 inch surface gives a real playing area without taking over the table
-
Light enough for a bag: lightweight and portable, it goes along on journeys
-
Beginners can knock a piece and carry on: the magnets help when a piece gets knocked while learning
Play a game of chess on a train, a flight or a car journey and the pieces stay on their squares, because they are magnetic and hold position when the surface moves. At home the same board suits beginners who are still learning and knock a piece along the way, and when the game ends it folds shut with all 32 pieces inside, so nothing goes missing.
This wooden chess set is handcrafted from solid wood and finished smooth, in natural wood with dark brown accents that mark the darker squares and pieces. Unfolded, the board measures 11.8 x 11.8 in (30 x 30 cm). It folds along its centre and the 32 chess pieces store in the built in storage compartment. This magnetic chess set suits chess for beginners learning the moves as well as adults who play regularly, and it is one of those portable games, light enough to carry in a bag for evenings at home, holidays and journeys, and it sits among travel games that fold shut. Adult supervision is required: the small magnetic pieces are a choking hazard, so keep the set away from young children. This chess game comes as a single default option.
