Yellow Mountain Imports Large 2-in-1 Travel Magnetic Chess & Checkers Board Game Set - 36 centimeters - Folding, Portable, Multi-Game Set

This board isn't too small and is ideal for living room games. The pieces are magnetic which helps if the board gets jogged and gives the impression of weight to the pieces, which are nicely shaped and aren't too small for larger hands to play. The board is a slightly metallic effect black/silver which has a nice subtle look to it. It comes with Draughts pieces too, but I probably won't use those and the instructions only cover the basic moves of Chess pieces. Great value for money and arrived in very good time from this seller.

Bought it for my son, very happy with it, good quality and smooth finish

Everything is fine, both the chess pieces and checkers have a magnet inside. The only drawback is that the main surfaces of the checkers have slight traces of flash that scratch the surface of the chessboard, but this is easily fixed by lightly sanding the pieces with fine-grit sandpaper.

Bought for my 5 year old daughter to play chess on when going on a flight. The magnetic pieces are perfect for playing a game out and about and the board clips shut allowing you to throw it in a bag and not worry all the pieces will come loose. It’s a good size for adults as a travel board and perfect for children. She is wanting to take it everywhere with her now, I think the design and magnetic feature really adds a sense of interest for her which is an unexpected bonus. Overall mission accomplished in inspiring the game of chess in the next generation ;)

Great board. Very handy for traveling and looks cute and is as described.

This is a nice set, reasonably well made, but could have more detail in the casting. The board is quite large and isn't that secure when closed with the pieces inside, some sort of clasp is needed to keep the box closed & it would be nice if the pieces came with drawstring bags & not just the throw away ones. The pieces would be better with stronger magnets on them, also there are no magnets on the draft pieces. For the price paid, it comes across as a tad expensive. I bought this set for someone just learning and for that purpose it is fine as a 1st set, luxury it's not. Neither is it really a set for everyday travelling as it is almost full size. Great for taking it say, from one place to another for a game occasionally or just packing everything away tidily. I don't usually give 5* as this means the item reviewed is perfect, so 3* is quite good, it probably would have been a 4 if the price was lower. So all in all, I'm fairly pleased.

Very beautiful and wonderful

Such a compact board and wafer thin. Perfect for long journeys and flights. Possible to close mid game without pieces moving. I would have liked extra pieces for promotions and there does not seem to be the option of purchasing them separately. Minor detail!
