Beautifully produced wooden travel chess set offering superb value for money. This 10-inch folding board includes Staunton style wooden chessmen with 1.7 inch kings and felt-lined storage compartments inside. Crafted from solid babul and boxwood, this striking chess set feels sturdy and will give years of enjoyment. These magnetic chessboards are some of the finest portable travel chess sets available, popular for their versatility. The clamshell design allows for safe storage and transportation of the wooden chessmen and minimizes the footprint of the set, making it ideal for portable play without sacrificing aesthetic or material quality. It's equally suitable for use and display in the home. Expertly crafted from individual squares of wood and fitted with concealed metal for playing on the move, each square is 2mm thick and inlaid precisely. Despite its size, it creates a beautiful playing area. While not weighted, the chess pieces are crafted following the traditional Staunton style with a fantastic level of detail. The bases of the Staunton style chessmen are magnetic and felted, allowing them to stick to the board for use on trains, cars, or planes. The felt bases protect the gorgeous, matt-lacquered surface of the board from scuffs or scratches. Finished to a very high standard, this stunning set boasts two additional queens for promotion and would make an ideal gift for any chess enthusiast. The 25.5cm chess board folds into an easily transportable case, fitted with a magnetic closing mechanism and slots for each piece. The set includes two additional queens, and magnetic pieces/board ensure superb stability. Add a personal touch with an engraved message on a brass plate at the front of the board.
