Ottimo acquisto per un regalo a due neofiti già appassionati degli scacchi. Potranno portarlo in viaggio e giocarci in ogni momento, anche in treno o aereo, nei futuri viaggi.... Belli, ben fatto e utile il fatto che dia magnetico... Read more

(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 :) Read more

Comes in a lovely satin case to protect the wood. All pieces for great into the inside of the board and it a great size for travelling. We did get stopped at security because of the mini magnets in the pieces but we got through onto the plane fine. It passed a great amount of flight time. It’s compact tidy and sturdy. A great board for beginner to experienced players. Nice gift or stocking filler. Read more

Ich war aufgrund einiger weniger negativer, wenn auch nachvollziehbarer Bewertungen gespannt auf mein Exemplar. Die Qualität des Brettes bzw. der Schatulle ist hervorragend. Dass die beiden Bretthälften im aufgeklappten Zustand ganz leicht schräg liegen, weil die Scharniere unten aufgesetzt sind und der Mittelstoß nicht abgeschrägt ist, kann man bei diesem Preis akzeptieren. Es stört auch nicht und fällt kaum auf. Auch die leichten Unregelmäßigkeiten und die etwas grobe Ausführung der Figuren entsprechen dem niedrigen Preis, sind aber absolut annehmbar und nicht störend (bei zwei Türmen und einem Läufer fehlten die sonst vorhandenen und üblichen Kerben). Die Magnete haben genau die richtige Stärke – stören nicht beim Ziehen, fixieren die Figuren aber hinreichend. Gegenüber früheren Ausführungen, die man in den Bildern anderer Rezensionen sieht, schließt mein Spiel mit einem im zugeklappten Zustand nicht sichtbaren Magnetverschluss, was sehr wertig ist. Das Spiel ist liebevoll mit Seidenpapier, Blasenfolie und einem Karton verpackt. Ein Säckchen zur Aufbewahrung war beigelegt. Das Spiel hat genau die richtige Größe, um es aufgebaut und bespielt stehen zu lassen (nutze es für Fernschach) und doch genug Übersicht zu bieten. Der Preis ist mehr als angemessen. Meine Erfahrung ist durchweg positiv. Read more

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! Read more

I'm very happy with my purchase. The item is apparently made in India. The chess pieces are super cute and we'll made, they look great. The magnet has the perfect strength, the pieces stay on the board upside down. Otherwise good overall quality. Are there tiny imperfections? Sure, it's a handmade product, the whole point of it is that it shouldn't look machine made. So there are some squares that ever so slightly differ in size, but nothing more. I'd definitely recommend this item! Read more
