Portable but not too small. One of the best features is the magnetic board and pieces. The magnets help keep the pieces in place if the board gets bumped or moved, which makes the set much more practical for traveling, playing in the car, or setting up a game somewhere without a perfectly stable table. My kids actually prefer to use this set rather than the full size set, saying since it’s magnetic the game isn’t ruined if the table is bumped. The 9.5-inch board is a good compromise between portability and play-ability. It folds up for storage, and the pieces can be stored inside, so you don't have to worry about carrying a separate bag of chess pieces. Pros: • Compact and easy to travel with • Magnetic pieces stay in position well • Board folds for convenient storage • Pieces store inside the board • Pieces well sized for the set Cons: • Plastic construction feels more functional than premium • Board may feel small to players accustomed to full-size chess sets • Pieces are naturally smaller than those on a standard board Overall, this is a well-designed travel chess set that does exactly what it claims. It's compact, convenient, and large enough to enjoy an actual game without feeling like you're playing on a cheap toy. Anyone looking for an inexpensive chess set to keep in a backpack, take on vacation, etc., this is an easy one to recommend. Review: 10X better than expected - outstanding value - Bought this as a temporary place holder for a back-ordered collector's edition House of Staunton wooden set for my 15 year old & he loves it so much that I don't know if he'll use the fancy one! Great for car rides, traveling of any kind. Magnets are strong enough to turn board upside down & shake without moving - this is especially handy when pausing a game overnight so the pieces don't move or for practicing on your own, for studying games, for oblivious canine/feline tails swinging into pieces as they walk by, for car rides, etc. Although the pieces stay put, the magnets don't impede playability at all - you hardly feel them when picking up or moving the pieces. It's also fun to stick your opponent's pieces on a metal surface, not gonna lie hahaha. Sturdy lil' 2" King. All the pieces are surprisingly well thought out & replicated in the classic Staunton style with the knight having more detail than even some high end sets. The extra queens are really nice to have & continue to mimic the feel of a fancy set. The grey & black contrast on the board is surprisingly easy on the eyes & help the pieces stand out, the algebraic notations are super helpful & stand out just enough to not be too distracting. Folds up into a kindle type size, a breeze to take on the go. Can't say enough about this little champion of a set, except that I should've learned my lesson when he was a toddler & the boxes that gifts came in were twice as fun as the toy itself lol, I see a fancy Staunton set collecting dust in our future 😆 I've also seen it in smaller & in larger sizes and I honestly think this is the PERFECT size for a take-anywhere-any-time set. You can pop a squat on the front stoop & unfold it right there! I do fear the paint on the squares might easily scratch so keeping the board itself a carrying case/bag may not be a bad idea. Next day delivery too! So if you have read all of this, I say buy the dang board! ## Features - ♕ MAGNETIC CHESS BOARD: The compact 9.5" x 9.5" chess board is made of smooth and sturdy plastic, where every square measures 1.1" x 1.1". It folds in half, so you can store the chess pieces inside when needed. - ♕ STAUNTON CHESS PIECES: Every Staunton chess piece is made with attention to detail. The plastic chess pieces all come with a felted bottom to protect the chess board from scratches. The King piece stands 2" tall. - ♕ EASY TO STORE & TRANSPORT: Store all the chess pieces in the foldable chess board. You can then move the chess board in the elegant storage box to keep it in mint condition. Pack in your backpack and you are ready to go. - ♕ FOR NEW & SEASONED PLAYERS: Surprise your friends with chess sets for adults with storage or use as portable chess board for future generations of players.

They’d stick, but not hold anything. **Q: Which country is this chess set made in?** A: China **Q: Is this board waterproof to some extent?** A: I would guess it would. I’ve never gotten it wet. (Not sure what scenario would entail a wet chess set!) The board is metal and plastic and the pieces are place. I would say if you want to play chess in a hot tub, steam room, snow, etc., you’re good to go. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Compact Chess Set *by R***M on August 28, 2026* An excellent little chess set.
