5.0 out of 5 stars Pricey? Not at all!
At this price, you get more than you'd think. I have very young nephews who can't seem to keep the pieces on normal boards, so when I found this magnetic wood board, I had to try it. It surpassed my expectations. I read a review that it was too pricey. Not at all, for what you get. I recommend it to anyone.

This travel set is different from other sets that I've used in the past. This set is noticeably higher quality, with well crafted pieces made from beautiful, shiny wood. The set is a perfect size, and it has a foam insert to hold the pieces during storage. There is felt on the bottom of the pieces. I want to buy more so I have one in the car, one in the house... some for gifts... Very pleased with this purchase. I just wish the Knight's eyes weren't placed quite so high, but even still, it is a very nice looking Knight.

In short, it has everything I was looking for in a Chess set. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Travel Chess, January 21, 2008

This review is from: ChessCentral's Magnetic Travel Wood Chess Set (Toy)
My DH had a similar travel chess board that our eight year old son took to school on a rainy day and unfortunately it came back broken. My DH was terribly upset as he has had the set since his 8th grade graduation (He's now 56). Anyway son felt bad and he wanted to get a new one for the daddy's Christmas gift. It did not arrive until the 30th even though we ordered it at the beginning of December. However, it was well worth the wait. The board is beautiful and well crafted. The pieces come inside a foam insert and are equally well crafted. We are very happy (as is the daddy) with our purchase.

Great travel chess set! The magnets held the pieces nicely even on a bumpy road trip. The set is very pretty and I like the color of the wood. I am very pleased with my purchase!

I was a little hesitant putting out $60 for a small traveling chess set, but this one has exceeded all expectations. The set is beautifully made, the board (double finger joint construction) has a lovely satin finish and the detailed pieces match it perfectly in size and finish. The magnets are just the right strength, not too strong to make moving pieces awkward but strong enough that you can hold the board upside down without them falling off. The quality even goes to the detail of matching the wood grains such that when closed, the sides of board match up perfectly. Little details like putting felt over the back of the snaps on the heavy-duty travel case (included) so that it doesn't scratch the board when it is inside are much appreciated and completely unexpected. Pity that all this quality has to come from India and not the USA.

and buy this chest set. Before I bought this one I was tempted by other, cheaper chess sets and regreted buying them. This one is worth every penny. Beautiful set

Ordered this for my 8 year old son. He loves it and takes it everywhere. The pieces stay in place so he can play on the road. This is just a fantastic chess set for young and old. It is compact and well made and my son has spent hours playing... now involved in chess club at school. I highly, highly recommend. Great product!!!!

I spent an hour researching travel sets all over the web, and this one seemed to have everything I wanted. I was not disappointed. Nicely carved pieces, and not too small; strong magnets; a well-made sturdy board with nice hardware and a foam interior with a pocket for each piece to prevent damage in transit. It comes in a lovely drawstring bag to protect the wooden box.
