Portability
Customers are highly satisfied with the portability of this chess set. They appreciate its compact size and ease of travel, making it perfect for playing on the go or during vacations.
Chess Book Compatibility
Customers are highly satisfied with this chess set's compatibility with chess books and portability, making it an excellent choice for travel or for those who like to read chess books while preserving their games. Some users have mentioned a slight issue with the pieces shifting when closing the board but overall, they find it superior to standard foldable boards or other portable sets due to its magnetic feature that secures the game.
Magnetic Pieces
Customers have a very positive opinion about the magnetic pieces of the chess set, which hold well and are convenient for travel. Some customers mentioned that they have experienced magnets coming loose but were able to easily fix the issue or get replacements. The strong magnets allow the board and individual pieces to stay in place during transportation and make it ideal for both kids and adults. However, some customers found the set a bit expensive.
