ChessBazar Chess Bazar - Magnetic Travel Pocket Chess Set - Staunton 7 X 7 Inch Folding Game Board Handmade In Fine Rosewood brown, yellow

They sent very bad quality chess board. It totally differernt from picture.

Not magnetic. I returned back mine

(2022) this is a nice set, i appear to have received something different from other buyers since they had a clasp shut and mine is a magnet shut. An improvement in my opinion, especially because the magnet clasp does not open even with aggressive shaking, and the slots for the pieces are so secure I have no doubt that they would stay put even if the board somehow opened. For me the board is level, has a good weight for its size. Extremely impressive quality given the price. The pieces are wood but appear to be intricate and well crafted which large boards sometimes cant even achieve. The board itself has no problems as far as I can tell. Im really impressed with the quality. Its smooth and varnished (aka satin finish seal), the staining is even, the pieces are all well done. Really just shocking (in a good way) for the price.I nearly took a star off because the magnet on the king pieces does not stick quite as well. It wont be a problem for me but can be fixed by simply replacing the magnet or using a big magnet to charge the little one. Additionally the pieces sometimes catch on each other’s magnets so you may just need to be prepared for that to happen occasionally, its not a huge deal. In general they are all are not strong enough to turn the board fully upside down, but it can be tilted a fair amount. The king is the only piece that will not stay. Then again, I’m not playing chess upside down and just need them to not side around too much in bed. And the magnets seem to be strong enough for that purpose. So given the impressive and surprising quality of the board, and my overall satisfaction I will award this five stars. If you are going to play chess upside down maybe look elsewhere.It is small enough to fit in a purse, perhaps even a pocket for a man. I can keep this easily in my inner jacket pocket. Since there are magnets on the pieces they don't seem so light to be uncomfortable to play with. If you are looking for something super discrete you may want a 5” version, or you could just get lichess for your phone.It came securely packaged, however it did not include the felt bag to protect it from scratches. There was a package of silica that produced an ungodly smell, but it subsided quickly. No big deal to me. I may see about getting a felt bag to carry so the pretty varnish does not get scratched up.If you want it I would say go ahead and get it. You really cant go wrong :)

Urun cok cok kaliteli degil. Kareler arasinda catlaklar var vs. Ama bu boyut icin guzel urun. Parcalar kaliteli ve miknatisi iyi tutuor. Acinca biraz bombeli yuzey oluyor ama yine de iyi. Koruyucu kadife kabi olmadan geldi ve Turkiye icin vergi/gumruk dahil yazmasina ragmen ek ucret odemek zorundakaldim alacaklar bunu dikkate alsin

Une très belle surprise, belle finition et belles matières nobles. Il en surprendra plus d'un. Il nous est arrivé parfaitement emballé. Merci à ce vendeur 5 étoiles.

Bei Holzschachs ist es irgendwie immer auch Glücksache. Ich habe meinem Bruder ein Großes geschenkt, das trotz stolzem Preis eher so lala verarbeitet war. Dieses hier hingegen ist insgesamt ziemlich sauber verarbeitet: Zwei Filze habe ich noch etwas nachgeklebt, aber das Brett ist plan und die Figuren echt schön geschnitzt. Es sieht und fühlt sich nach deutlich mehr als 20 EUR an. Top!

I'm very happy with the chess set. The board is well made and the pieces too. Perfect for travels or at home in bed. I recommend this!
