The chess pieces are magnetic and won't slide around; it's even got "algebraic" coordinates engraved on the edge of the board. The pieces are easy to recognize for any chess player, even beginners. The chess pieces have storage inside the folding chess board for easy travel , and the board closes nicely with a brass clasp. The perfect chess set for players on the go or players who want an elegant and portable chess set to play on.

The Light Chess Pieces
The Light pieces are made of Hornbeam, a wood that is found in the forests of Europe. Hornbeam (sometimes known as Ironwood) is mostly white and used for intricate and decorative carvings. There are no lead weights in these pieces - they are solid wood! King height: 1.75 inches.

The Dark Chess Pieces
The Dark pieces are crafted from Sycamore which offers a dark brown, smooth textured wood. This wood, coupled with the craftsmanship of the Carpathian artisans, makes for some of the finest moderately priced chess sets available in the marketplace today.

The Lay Flat Chess Board
The chess board is made of Birch and Beech. The chess board lays flat and is 10.5 x 10.5 inches. When folded in the center to store your chess pieces, it is 5.25" x 5.25" with a 2.5" depth. The set includes intricate and decorative carvings along chess board edge.

The Chess Board Interior
The interior of the chess board piece storage area is lined with velvet like material, giving this magnetic chess set an over-the-top look and feel.

    lovely looking but weak magnets

    Posted by Larry Fagen on Apr 8th 2019

    A very good looking set. Great size for playing along while reading a chess book. I wish however that the magnets were stronger. I recall as a kid I had a magnetic set and the board was a thin sheet of steel. Those pieces "stuck" like crazy. This board is wooden-like finish so it is magnetic but nowhere near the strength I would have liked. Good for minor bumps/tilts. Overall a very nice set.
