### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great travel set. KEEP the "punch" sheet.
  

*by J***U on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017*

Great travel chess set.  Before I continue, here is a tip:  In other reviews users describe the plastic pocket as a place to put the pieces then describe the pieces falling out.  To prevent this, KEEP the magnet sheet that you punched the pieces out of.  When I'm done I simply take each piece and press it back into the circle on the sheet with my thumb.  After a few "punch ins and punch outs", they go in and out super easy. Then the sheet fits snugly in the plastic pocket without risk of the pieces falling out.  It's also handy to manage captured pieces during the game.PROS: The set itself is very functional.  The middle crease is small, so the diagonals line up nicely and it's not distracting.  The pieces stick firmly but yet are easy to slide or pick up with one's hands.  Turning it upside down or tilting it will have no effect on  position of the pieces. The board has green squares for great contrast.  CONS: The exterior is black and has a someone gaudy "US CHESS Federation" with a chessboard and knight on the cover.  I guess I missed that in the description. I would have preferred all black to be more incognito when closed.  The exterior feels pleathery like it would rip, but so far it's been pretty sturdy.I'm glad I bought this set!I'm glad I bought it.

    Great little chess set for playing on the go! Excellent value!
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018*

I work in a bar kitchen, and bought this set to play with my servers across the kitchen window. Everyone loves it.Pros:Magnets hold very well, you can fold it up and keep a game in progress as long as you're fairly gentle with it.Tokens seem more secure than stand-up pieces, I feel like I'm less likely to knock a piece off and lose it.Tiny and very portable, great for what I use it for at work.CHEAP!Cons:Extra queens would be nice.The pocket seems a little flimsy, although it has not broken yet.Overall I am thrilled with it. So much that when I lost the whole thing at the bar (we were moving, I think it wound up in a box or something), I turned around and bought another one no questions asked. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great little travel set. Very happy with my purchase.
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021*

If I could give 4.5 stars I would as the 2 drawbacks I have aren’t super major, at least to me anyway.First the good. The set seems durable. Nice gloss to the pieces. Seems great for my intended use which is for study while traveling. The major factor for my happiness with the set though is the full set of replacement pieces. Maybe I got an updated set since some of the reviews but mine came with not only 32+2 extra queens and 2 blank pieces but also the bonus 32 pieces. Beyond happy about this.The 2 drawbacks I have are this. Yes, the face of a pawn came off during the first use. Whatever, that’s what super glue is for. The other is the overall look of the pawns. To me they resemble coat hangers and it’s kind of hard to unsee. Sorry if I ruined this for anyone else.All in all for the price and the extra pieces I think this is a great little pocket set for chess enthusiasts, both kids and adults alike.
