Playing On A Magnetic Folding Chess Set

So, what’s so special about playing on a magnetic folding chess set? Well, if you’ve ever found yourself playing chess in a moving vehicle, such as a bus, back seat of a car, on a train or airplane, or on a space shuttle on its way to the International Space Station, you know how difficult and frustrating it is to keep all of the pieces in their proper squares. A magnetic chess set solves this problem.

If you’re going on a road trip with children, a magnetic chess set will help to keep you from hearing the well known phrase "are we there yet?" Their concentration on the game will make the trip go by much faster, and much less stressful for you.

Each chess piece is fitted with a small magnet that is strong enough to keep the piece in place, yet easy enough to move with thumb and forefinger. Specially designed wooden chess boards have a metal sheet fitted on the bottom side of the board serving as the attractant for the magnetic pieces.

Magnetic chess sets, also known as travel chess sets, are the ideal gift for children, adolescents, and even adults. Magnetic chess sets are usually smaller than typical "land based" chess sets. Typical magnetic chess sets range from 5" to 12" and may have folding boards with storage for the chess pieces. These folding magnetic chess sets can be stored easily and are handy for moving from place to place.

Magnetic chess sets are very affordable with most being less than $50.00. Whether you’re a beginner just learning the game or a proficient chess player, a magnetic chess set will give you hours of enjoyment.
