A&A 15 inch Foldable Wooden Magnetic Chess Set w/ 3 inch King Height Staunton Chess Pieces - Pine Box w/Walnut & Maple Inlay

This chess set is amazing especially for the price, it’s hard to find a wooden chess set at this price point, the wood feels really nice & the pieces are really well made, I especially love the knight’s design in this set, it doesn’t have eyes so it doesn’t look all weird & creepy like a lot of other sets, it’s a minimalist design, the pieces being magnetic is a really nice touch too, the magnets are strong enough to stick on the board without falling over when the board is moving but not too strong where it hinders gameplay, the magnets also compensate for the pieces not being weighted. Mine came with a broken latch so I emailed them & they replied to me very quickly & sent me 2 replacement latches for free, so the customer service is really outstanding. Overall this is a really good chess set for beginners, casual players or people who like playing on the go & I am extremely happy with my purchase!

I've owned this board for little over a year now, and it has been absolutely incredible. I collect chess sets, and own over 100 different sets. I also (try) to play chess at a club level, so I appreciate when things are playable for standard more official chess settings. I've played over 50 games with this board in blitz, rapid, and classical style formats. From this experience, here are my pro's and con's Pros: - Piece design: The piece design in superb. To put it simply, these are the best wooden chess pieces I've ever used in a magnetic chess set. It closely resembles that of the DGT timeless pieces which are the top of the line. Many other sets write "handmade wooden pieces" in their titles but end up just including a set of generic mass made cheap wooden sets, but this company does not. They feel great in the hands, look fantastic, and are very durable. The contrast between the pieces and the board is brilliant, and allows for very pleasant play. The wood grain is also NOT fake, which I am very happy with. They are real wooden pieces that do not have that glossy cheap look. - Magnets: The magnets are perfect for this size of board. They stay on at decently extreme angles, and during blitz play pieces rarely fall down. They also have a very satisfying sound when placing down on the board. - Board quality: Board is very smooth and level. I never really ever have issues with the seam and it has withstood several drops, hits, and literal smacking from small children. I have taken it abroad to two countries and it still plays great. Overtime mine has seen several scratches and nicks, but I've used this in a more extreme case. I actually like the "weathered" look it's taking on as well. - Value Given the quality of the board, pieces, and magnets, I don't think you can find a better deal. This is the highest value magnetic set I have found so far. Cons: - Putting pieces back: The magnets are not all the same direction. This causes pieces to snap to each other, or stick to the sides of other pieces. While this is not an issue when playing at all, it is annoying when putting it back after you're done. However this is really not a problem and adds maybe only an extra 10 seconds to your time when cleaning up. - Base size of Queen and King: These two pieces have slightly larger bases than the rest of the pieces. It doesn't impact playability but it irks me that they're not all the same size. I'm guessing this was to compensate for their taller height. - Size options: This size is fantastic for serious games, and works on many different surfaces. However for portability it is pretty sizeable and barely fits in my laptop backpack. The thickness also makes it cumbersome to carry around if you have a small bag. I wish there were maybe 3 sizes (small, medium, large) where this would be more on the medium size. Overall: This is my top pick for serious portable chess, and is my first recommendation anytime anyone asks. I really appreciate the quality they've put into this. Make sure you pay attention to the dimensions carefully and know that it will be slightly on the larger side. If that isn't an issue for you, you cannot find a better deal for the price!

The chess set that I recently purchased is truly a work of art. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the attention to detail and the quality of the craftsmanship. First and foremost, the pieces are absolutely stunning. They are carved from high-quality wood and are exquisitely detailed. The knights are especially impressive, with their flowing manes and intricate features. Each piece has a nice weight to it, making them feel substantial and satisfying to move around the board. The board itself is also beautiful. It is made from a rich, dark wood that provides a striking contrast to the lighter pieces. The squares are perfectly sized, allowing for easy movement of the pieces without feeling cramped or crowded. The overall size of the board is also just right, not too large as to be cumbersome but not too small as to feel cramped. The chess set also came with a protective case, which is a nice touch. This makes it easy to transport the set to a friend's house or to a tournament without having to worry about damaging the pieces or the board. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this chess set. It is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and a joy to use. Whether you are an experienced chess player or just starting out, I highly recommend this set. It is well worth the investment and is sure to provide many hours of enjoyment for years to come.

This is by far, the nicest travel chess set I've ever purchased. From the moment you first unbox this at, you notice the quality. The board is beautiful. The pieces actually look like they may have been handmade. The whole set is a work of art. There are little flaws here and there, but only two that I care to complain about. The feet on the board are tiny little pins for holding the set closed. I found they left marks in my table after my nephew and I had a game. He is young and tends to lean on the board, so this shouldn't be a problem with adults players. The second thing is, the clasp on the right side was broken on arrival. There is a tiny pin that holds it tightly closed. That is missing. These are very minor complaints. So much so that I ordered a second set, as I'm sure that it will arrive in no less than perfect condition. As somewhat of an afterthought, the magnets are great. They hold the pieces firmly in place. TL;DR. This is a terrific set, well worth the price. I bought two once I saw how nice the quality is.

A perfect first set for home use and portable enough to bring it to the park with friends. Your second set should be the 3.75 inch tournament set but is too big and expensive to be taken out of safety of your home. The quality is top notch, pieces are smooth and well proportioned. The pieces weighs like a hardwood would and the magnets helps to hold it in place. Without the magnets, i think it would still be stable due to the base being wide enough for its height. The board is well finished like fine furniture and its shade is lighter which provides contrast with the pieces. I like that its waxed like finish is not too shiny to be distracting and its easier to the eyes. I highly recommend this set.

Since me and my friends recently fell in love with chess, I wanted to play chess with them in real life instead of playing online. After I brought the set to them and played together, we all loved it so much. Here are some reason that this is a good chess set: 1. It's very cheap. Comparing to other wooden chess set, this is so much cheaper. 2. It's very easy to bring from place-to-place. I usually bring the chess set back to school to play with my friends. The design of the chess set make it so that it's very easily to pack up and assemble, having us more time to play on the board. The fact that it's magnetic is also very nice. 3. Good quality. You might expect a cheap chess set to have a not too good quality, but you'd be wrong. Me and my friends all agree that the chess set is very well made, and we absolutely love the feeling when we can touch the pieces and move them around the board. Overall I think this is a spectacular choice if you are finding a chess set to play with your friends.

This is the third economical chess set from Amazon that I've tried and I am so grateful that I kept trying to find a good one. This is it. The board lays flat with no gap in-between. The finish is ever so slightly grainy in some areas but not in a bothersome way, the pieces still slide nicely. The pieces are well crafted. The Queen is a little large in diameter than she typically is, but this doesn't bother me. The Knights are my favorite, very nice carving compared to typical Staunton sets, they actually resemble a horse. The magnets hold pretty well without being too strong. Overall, I'm impressed and am grateful that I have such a nice set now while staying within in my budget. Thank you.

The chess board and pieces are well crafted.

The quality far exceeded my expectations at the price point. The board looks excellent, lies flat, and comes with a nice fitted felt-like bag. The magnets on the pieces are nice feature and decently strong. The 15x15" board size is large enough to not be too cramped, but small enough to be portable. The pieces themselves are perfectly sized for the board and are of fairly average quality, with a few minor imperfections on a few, but nothing that affects anything.

Just received this set yesterday and i just had to write a review on it. Pros : Amazing quality and beautiful wood grain. Cute chess pieces, very finely made, excellent magnetic feel. Cons : I would have loved if it came in some carrier bag. The chess pieces were a little light, but then again, it wouldnt hold if it were overly weighted. All in all, a GREAT Chess set.

Update: The company was very helpful and sent us a replacement bishop. We've been using the set for a while now and its been great. Its nice to be able to play a little, then move it out of the way for a while and not have to worry about positions changing. The quality of the board and pieces is also very good as well. Definitely worth the price. Original post: We recieved our set today and the bishop doesn't have a magnet in it and the felt is very different on the bottom than all the other pieces. I opened the felt and there is a piece of metal, but it is not magnetic

Bella scacchiera. Solida…pezzi ben fatti.

Vraiment pas mal, bien fini, les pièces tiennent bien.
