I nearly took a star off because the magnet on the king pieces does not stick quite as well. It wont be a problem for me but can be fixed by simply replacing the magnet or using a big magnet to charge the little one. Additionally the pieces sometimes catch on each other’s magnets so you may just need to be prepared for that to happen occasionally, its not a huge deal. In general they are all are not strong enough to turn the board fully upside down, but it can be tilted a fair amount. The king is the only piece that will not stay. Then again, I’m not playing chess upside down and just need them to not side around too much in bed. And the magnets seem to be strong enough for that purpose. So given the impressive and surprising quality of the board, and my overall satisfaction I will award this five stars. If you are going to play chess upside down maybe look elsewhere.
It is small enough to fit in a purse, perhaps even a pocket for a man. I can keep this easily in my inner jacket pocket. Since there are magnets on the pieces they don't seem so light to be uncomfortable to play with. If you are looking for something super discrete you may want a 5” version, or you could just get lichess for your phone.
It came securely packaged, however it did not include the felt bag to protect it from scratches. There was a package of silica that produced an ungodly smell, but it subsided quickly. No big deal to me. I may see about getting a felt bag to carry so the pretty varnish does not get scratched up.
If you want it I would say go ahead and get it. You really cant go wrong :)

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024
However, when I set the board up and began to play I was immediately disappointed. The product was advertised to be a magnetic travel chess set. The chess pieces are small and extremely light (as I expected) but the magnetic feature should have held the chess pieces in place. It did not. The extremely weak magnetic fields are not nearly strong enough to hold the pieces in place as I gently slide the set a few inches across the table. If I move the chessboard at all I have to reset some of the pieces. In my view, the set is non-functional. I am disappointed.
Further, there is a quality issue. The board and the pieces look great. However, 3 of the pawns do not sit perpendicular to the board and tilt at an angle. I am surprised that this defect was not discovered during quality control inspection/testing.
On a positive note, I ordered and received a slightly larger, more expensive travel chess set from Staunton and am pleased with it.
The white set however, gets stained by the green velvet inside the case. The white pieces arrived with great streaks of green on them. As a travel set for self play I don't mind that too much. I am going to detract 2 stars for even shipping that set of pieces as quality control must be poor.
White pieces had the rook and a couple pawns sit crooked due to magnet offset along with the green streaks. The magnets do hold the pieces to the board even while upside down, although too much shaking and their falling regardless.

Preisleistung verhältnis stimmt. Sehr zum Empfehlen.
We did get stopped at security because of the mini magnets in the pieces but we got through onto the plane fine. It passed a great amount of flight time.
It’s compact tidy and sturdy. A great board for beginner to experienced players.
Nice gift or stocking filler.

Déjà la petite poche bleu est très élégante et quand je l'ai vu,il était à la bonne taille et exactement comme sur les photos.
Mais pour la magnitude s'est pas très bien. Mais sinon,c est top
