A&A 15" Magnetic Wooden Chess Set for Adults/Folding Chess Board/Handmade 3" King Height Knight Staunton Chess Pieces with 2 Extra Queen/Portable Travel Chess Game Set

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.

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!

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!

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.

Although made in China, the pieces and the board seem to be well made and were securely packaged. The pine board makes is light and easy to carry but seems sturdy enough (time will tell). The magnetic quality of the pieces make up for them being unweighted and have a nice feel when playing. I like bigger chess pieces so they are the perfect size. The only things I think can definitely be improved upon are the storage for the pieces inside the board (which seem like cheap plastic inserts glued in) and the addition of magnets where the two halves of the board meet in the middle to keep it from folding on a non-flat surface (should you for some reason need to move it mid-game or not have a completely flat surface to play on). Overall I am extremely pleased with this set, especially considering that I purchased it on Prime Day at a great discounted price. Would highly recommend for the average hobbyist chess player.

Excellent quality and great appearance. I wish it could have an extra stickers , as I messed up placing them on the board and needed to remove it. Now my board has no letters on the opposite side 😣 but it’s my fault.

Our son is thoroughly enjoying this set. It was even a breeze to touch base with the sellers as we needed a set of the stickers. We must have missed them somehow in the packaging. Their responses were prompt and courteous. And a new set of stickers were sent to us. Thank you for the great product and customer service!

Very well made chess set. Magents are strong enough to keep the pieces in place if you move the board around. I love the color of the board.

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.

Very good board!

El producto llegó 3 días antes de la fecha indicada. El tablero y las piezas son del tamaño adecuado y de una calidad superior a lo que esperaba. Quisiera saber si venden piezas sueltas por si alguna se pierde.
