Small Best Magnetic Portable Chess Set with Case

Small Portable Chess Sets are incredibly popular, less for display and more for practicality, these sets are great for a chess player on the go. Magnetic Portable Chess Sets feature smaller, lighter chess pieces that are easier to transport, this, along with their strong magnets make them an ideal choice for play while travelling in a vehicle when there’s a bump in the road or a little turbulence during a flight.

The set also boasts some really strong magnetic powers - you can see this in the photo example where we hold the set at a 90 degree angle - no piece even slips! This small chess set also comes with a zippered case that has felted, individual slot storage so you won't lose your chessmen. The perfect small chess set for the advanced chess player and novice alike.

These small chess sets are available in several sizes – from a miniature 6″ size to more reasonably 8″, 9 3/4″, and 11 3/4″ sizes based on your needs. The 8″ is great for analysis (if you’re playing by yourself) and one of the larger sizes is best if you’re going to be playing with a friend. The sets are available in a Black, Walnut or Rosewood Finish.

This item is the Small 8" Set featuring a 1 1/2" King, perfect for analysis.

Purchased for my grandson currently serving n the US Navy. Needed to be compact & easy to store, magnetic and a secure place to keep the pieces. This set filled all those requirements and then some! Add a high quality, well-made board and nice padded case and I’d say this chess set will definitely become one of his and his shipmates favorite! Thank you for selling such a high quality little treasure! .

I am learning a lot faster by being able to save the board and move it around to get cumfy! These are the best boards whatever size, but the small pieces are beautifully rendered.

This is a gift, so I don't know how my grandson will like it, but it looks good to me. The only issue is the zipper on the outer fabric envelope. which was very hard to open and impossible to close again, as if it had been mounted inside out.

Very nice looking high quality chess set. The magnets on the pieces were ok but not as strong as I expected. The pieces would slide off the board if it was held at an angle, but under most circumstances it was fine. Nice looking and good case for storage.

Product is extremely nice! Nice velvet cushion for the pieces. Granted they are magnets and silt8ck to other pieces sometimes, other then that the product is really sweet.

This set seems well made. I use it mainly in my commute and for weekend chess matches with the local chess club. I like having a place for every piece in a foam cutout. The pieces stick to the board well enough to while traveling by train or bus. The only improvement I make would be to add a small "pull to remove" strip to each pieces' storage spot to make removing the pieces easier. But that is a minor improvement. The pieces are not difficult to remove from their storage spots. I have already recommended the board to others.

Exceeded expectations. Only niggle was that some pieces didn't fit snug enough in their niche to not fall out when opening/closing the case.

This is a great, small chess board. The magnetic pieces make traveling with it very easy. It comes with a small case and packs away easily. A great purchase that will be used a lot.

Our granddaughters are enjoying StoryBook Chess and this set is perfect for them to take those skills on the road with them. We are thrilled with the set. Highly Recommend. We ordered 3 and wish we would have ordered another 2!
