This GSE magnetic chess set is perfect for playing at home or taking on the go. The whole board is made of solid wood and measures 10 x 10 x 1.5 inches – a nice, portable size. The coolest feature? The chess pieces have magnets in their bases, and the board is magnetic too. This means the pieces stick in place, so you can play in a car, on a train, or outside on a breezy day without them sliding around or falling over. Each piece also has a soft felt pad on the bottom to protect the board and make moving them nice and quiet. The set comes with all 32 standard pieces. The king is about 2.5 inches tall, the queen is 2.25 inches, and the pawn is 1.38 inches. For storage, there are two fabric-lined drawers built right into the sides of the board – one for the white pieces, one for the black. Just slide them open to put everything away neatly. It includes the board, pieces, and game instructions. It's certified (ASTM/CPSIA) for ages 6 and up, making it a great family game for game nights, or to keep in an office or den. Whether you're a beginner or just want a sturdy, travel-friendly set, this one ticks all the boxes.
