Review: A Very Convenient Chess Set - I really like the quality of this chess set. It's very convenient and it fits easily in your pocket so that you can carry it with you. Putting the set away quickly is no problem since you don't even have to remove the peices. The pieces are magnetized so all you have to do is fold the board and you're ready to resume the game at another time. I also think that the durability of this chess set is very good. It shouldn't brake easily unless you brake it on purpose or treat it poorly. Another thing is that the pieces will make black smudges on the board after awhile of using it, but it's nothing that can't be rubbed out (so this is a very small thing). Other than that, I highly recommend this product if your looking for a small, convenient, and inexpensive chess set.
Review: Low cost and space saving; made in China. - For a tiny, pocket-sized chess set that you can take anywhere, this is great. I can leave it in my car and I'll never have to think "Oh, a chess player. Too bad we're no where near a chess set." It has also come in handy for when I want to study some chess tactics without having to pull out a standard sized board and set up the pieces. From the seller's description, it seems these were meant as a low cost, space saving, and weight-friendly solution to teaching chess to a class of people; it even has the chess notation marks a-h and 1-8 on both sides properly. For consistent personal use, it does come in handy. The magnetic pieces stay secured on the board, even when folded and toted around all day, but as a "travel" set, its purpose isn't meant to be anything special other than provide convenience of a quick, to-go set. The pieces might be considered mildly inconvenient to pull off or slide around, but it beats the inconvenience of not being able to play in situations without a stable surface to put a board on. There is a little note on these boards reminding you that you can play checkers with the pieces, which is a fantastic idea, Four stars because the thing is entirely made of a plastic with a strong chemical smell (not atypical of this kind of plastic). Eventually it'll go away and absorb the scents around the area, but initially may irritate anyone with chemical sensitivity or a strong sense of smell. Also, made in China.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Very Convenient Chess Set
*by G***1 on January 31, 2011*

I really like the quality of this chess set. It's very convenient and it fits easily in your pocket so that you can carry it with you. Putting the set away quickly is no problem since you don't even have to remove the peices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low cost and space saving; made in China.
*by M***Y on March 19, 2013*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great travel set. KEEP the "punch" sheet.
*by J***U on July 8, 2017*

Great travel chess set. Before I continue, here is a tip: In other reviews users describe the plastic pocket as a place to put the pieces then describe the pieces falling out. To prevent this, KEEP the magnet sheet that you punched the pieces out of. When I'm done I simply take each piece and press it back into the circle on the sheet with my thumb. After a few "punch ins and punch outs", they go in and out super easy. Then the sheet fits snugly in the plastic pocket without risk of the pieces falling out. It's also handy to manage captured pieces during the game. PROS: The set itself is very functional. The middle crease is small, so the diagonals line up nicely and it's not distracting. The pieces stick firmly but yet are easy to slide or pick up with one's hands. Turning it upside down or tilting it will have no effect on position of the pieces. The board has green squares for great contrast. CONS: The exterior is black and has a someone gaudy "US CHESS Federation" with a chessboard and knight on the cover. I guess I missed that in the description. I would have preferred all black to be more incognito when closed. The exterior feels pleathery like it would rip, but so far it's been pretty sturdy. I'm glad I bought this set! I'm glad I bought it.
