Yellow Mountain Imports Magnetic Travel Foldable Chess Wallet Set Age 5+ (20-Centimeter) - Portable & Perfectly Travel-Size

good quality

Great board. Very handy for traveling and looks cute and is as described.

Arrived with dents and bends on the surface (see photos), which seems to be made from thin metal. Would have been a great product otherwise. Not returning, because it's a present for a kid living abroad and we fly tomorrow.

Such a compact board and wafer thin. Perfect for long journeys and flights. Possible to close mid game without pieces moving. I would have liked extra pieces for promotions and there does not seem to be the option of purchasing them separately. Minor detail!

The media could not be loaded. Bought for my 5 year old daughter to play chess on when going on a flight. The magnetic pieces are perfect for playing a game out and about and the board clips shut allowing you to throw it in a bag and not worry all the pieces will come loose.It’s a good size for adults as a travel board and perfect for children. She is wanting to take it everywhere with her now, I think the design and magnetic feature really adds a sense of interest for her which is an unexpected bonus.Overall mission accomplished in inspiring the game of chess in the next generation ;)

This would get four or five stars out of me if the magnets did not fall out of the pieces.Gonna have to get my glue gun out.I love it otherwise. It is more tactile as a travel chess for the children (and me) for playing compared to a flat magnet travel chess set (which we also have) - but the flat magnet set has become our travel go to due to the magnet falling out issue which I have not sorted yet.

good

There are unnecessary problems with this set. In the first place, it isn’t obvious which pieces should be treated as white (white symbols against black background or vice versa?) and which should be treated as black. Of course, the players can agree which is which, but why design pieces where confusion is possible? Secondly, there is nowhere to stow pieces that have been taken. The blindingly obvious place is the tray at each end of the board, but it is (a) fractionally too narrow to accommodate the pieces and (b) is not magnetic. This makes it awkward to adjourn a game part-way through without either risking the loss of pieces already removed from the board or inadvertently altering the adjourned position. Finally, there are no additional Queens. None of these by themselves are serious flaws but taken together they mean that in this reviewer’s opinion the set is not worth buying.
