Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I looked at a lot of different models, but this one seemed just about right. Not too small to enjoy playing with at home, and not too big to play with in the car on a trip. All pieces hold well even as you hold the board perpendicular to the table, so at least when new, the magnets do OK. The magnet in one of the pawns was not "seated in" completely, and I could not jam it in, so it stood a little off balance when set on the board. But I called the Chess Store company and they sent a replacement immediately and I received it w/in a week of calling them. The quality of the board and appearance of the pieces is reasonable. I think a price of $30 might have been more appropriate, but this will serve us well. I did not know if the pieces would fall out as you try to close it. At first they didn't, but as the pieces form a "memory" on the green padding, then they can loosen up, and I have already had one piece fall out as I tried to close the board. There are other models where all pieces fit into one side only. But I think this will work out OK if you watch as you close it.
