Amerous 12" x 12" Travel Magnetic International Chess Set with Folding Chess Board

My 6 year old loves it.

It came with a two year warranty for any lost or damaged chess pieces.It is very detailed too.

We got this as our first set when learning to play and have since moved on to a bigger and better board. But, this board works great for beginners and for traveling. We have also used this board outside, the magnets make it very useable! The board and pieces are cheap, but that’s what you get with this price. I recommend for kids, beginners, or as an additional set for camping/boating.

The set arrived quickly. The pieces are made of plastic, but don't feel hollow. The magnet holds them lightly to the board. If playing outside, moderate wind should not cause the pieces to move, or if the board is bumped they should not fall over. The pieces do have small plastic burs on them, from having been broken off of plastic skeletons in their manufacturing process. I will file them down, so the pieces are comfortable to pick up. All in all, a nice set I am looking to use to teach my 6-year old the game. UPDATE - When I was removing the burs I noticed the base of a chess piece breaking off. Not sure how it happened, but I was able to repair it with a few dabs of Gorilla Glue. The box does come with a form you can fill out and send in if a piece is defective.

Not bad for the money

Whatever the problem, they will make it right. Magnets in mine were loose and some slid down when tilted. CS said keep the set and sent a second. I ended up with one set that worked as described and one for spare parts. The smaller set ,9.5 was better quality. Smile

This chess set is a bit larger than some of the other magnetic travel sets. I take it to the beach often.

The board has a big dent in the middle and feels very cheap. The chess pieces are also poorly designed with some magnets not working and detached from its base.Consider yourself warned when making any purchase from this seller.
