Review of a Folding Chess Board

This is a chess board that I gave to a boy on his 13th birthday. The board, when open, measures 10 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 7/8". Folded, the board is 10 1/2" x 5 1/4" x 1 3/4". The squares are 1 1/8" x 1 1/8". The pawns are a hair over an inch tall and the kings are slightly over 2 1/8" tall. Each piece has a felted bottom and the bottoms of the box are felt-lined. The pieces come in two zip-lock plastic bags inside the box and the pieces easily fit inside the box, so putting the pieces away is effortless. The box has brass colored hinges held in place with small Philips head screws, and the catch that keeps the box closed is also brass colored and attached with screws. The clasp on the sample chess set I received to review holds the box shut tightly; there is no chance the box will accidentally open. It is a very nice set for the price!

COMPLETE SET WITH ALL PIECES - This, mini chess set is about 30 percent smaller than a tournament standard size, making it the best size to take on the road, stash in a drawer at home, or give as a gift! Classic pieces are hand-stained wood - not plastic, metal or stone - with felt bottoms. More modern looking than Staunton style. Sizes range from Pawns just over 1 inch tall with a .625 inch diameter base to the King which is just over 2 inches tall with a .75 inch base.

Disclosure: I received this product for free or a heavily discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
