Chessboard is absolutely amazing. Has a strong glue/varnish odor when you first receive it, so it is best to open it and put it in a garage, porch or shed to air out. After that you are all set. **Q: Why does the chess set come with 4 Knights. I understand the extra queens and pawns, but why 2 extra knights?** A: The pawns do not make sense, but the extra knights do. There are times when you promote a pawn, a queen would not checkmate, but the knight would, ran into that situation a few times. Hope this answers your question. I made 18 inch chessboards for my three adult kids and myself, I bought 6 sets of chess pieces from Poland and provided 1 and a half sets of pieces for each board in case they lose pieces or the dog gets them. LOL ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality Travel Chess Set! *by K***R on November 7, 2022* OK, I ordered this set after ordering another 10 inch travel set which arrived damaged. This set was twice the cost of the other set, and it is worth every penny that I paid! The finish on the chess pieces is much smoother and evenly applied than the other set. The quality of carving of the small wood pieces is superior, particularly the knights (the hardest piece to carve). Highly skilled carvers on display. House of Chess even gives you 2 sets of knights, the German Knight style and what looks like the "Fierce Knight" style to choose from (I prefer the German Knights on this set). 2 extra queens and 2 extra pawns as well. The quality of carving, feel, and design of all the pieces are impressive. A joy to play with. The finish on the chessboard is much better looking and likely more durable than on the first cheaper set I ordered. Hinges were misaligned on the cheaper set, resulting in the finish being pulled off the side of the board when opening the hinge. The hinges on this set were correctly installed, and of better quality. The magnetism was a bit stronger on the pieces of this set compared to the cheaper set, although one of the knights has a weak magnet. The board has 4 rubber "feet" that you can place into holes in the bottom of the board, enabling the board to set off a table or whatever surface you are placing the board on. A very thoughtful and useful feature. Comes with a bag to place to the board in, giving a bit of scratch protection to the beautiful board. I am very happy with this set, well worth twice the price of inferior products, and a fine choice for a 10 inch travel set. UPDATE: Seller replaced the piece that had a weak magnet. Incredible customer service! I love this little set! If you want a beautiful travel set for a reasonable price, look no further! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ gorgeous board! *by F***T on February 6, 2025* yeah this thing is nice! I purchased two. One for myself and one for a friend's birthday who has become obsessed with chess and surpassed me. Great portable size, and yet still feels good to play on. The quality is very good and worth the price! I initially ordered the 12" version of this same brand but sent it back instantly without fully opening it as I could tell it wasn't travel friendly at all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readability Also! *by T***L on January 7, 2025* What more can be said on the beauty of this travel set? I’d like to add that the readability of this creation also unique among small sets. Many small travel chess sets are practically useless when it comes to actually using it to read a game: Usually, the pieces and squares do not match. The basis of the pieces are usually too large, making the combinations very difficult to see and read On this set, the pieces do fit the squares and reading a game is not only possible but a pleasure on such a beautiful piece of work. ## Frequently Bought Together - House of Chess - 10 Inch Wooden Magnetic Folding Travel Chess Set/Board with 2 Extra Knights, 2 Extra Pawns, 2 Extra Queens and Algebraic Notation - Handmade - Premium Quality - How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond - StonKraft - 7" x 7" - Wooden Travel Folding Small Chess Game Board Set + Wooden Magnetic Crafted Pieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/59837984-house-of-chess-10-inch-wooden-magnetic-folding-travel-chess](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/59837984-house-of-chess-10-inch-wooden-magnetic-folding-travel-chess) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
