MAGNETIC CHESS SETS (6)

Complete wooden folding chess sets which includes the pieces and the board. Perfect for the train journey or where stability on a small scale is required. The magnetic chess sets ensure your pieces stay in that winning position.

Magnetic chess sets have come a long way in recent years. Whereas you may remember from your childhood a small plastic set with tiny pieces held together by even tinier magnets, the market is now flush with Magnetic Chess Sets that look more at home in an upscale office or living room than a child’s playroom. Not that they need to stay in those places, since the magnetic properties of the chess set make it perfectly equipped to go anywhere – all without a single piece slipping off of its square. The main advantages of a magnetic chess set are as follows:

Portability
Magnetic chess sets are perfect to take on the go so you can fit in a game or two while you’re travelling. The strong magnetic bond between the board and the pieces keeps everything in place and allows you to play anywhere, whether it be on a plane or train, in a car, on a boat, or wherever else you can think of!

Stability
With a magnetic chess set, you can be sure that the pieces will stay where you put them. This can be a very useful feature for a person with an unsteady hand or perhaps a young child who’s not particularly graceful. It’s also the perfect thing for chess lovers who live in relatively unstable environments, such as on a houseboat or in a full or part time RV setup.

Choose your favorite magnetic set to play conveniently during long journey hours! If you are looking for a magnetic travel chess set, you are not alone: magnetic chess sets have really taken off in popularity in the last few decades, as more and more people become interested in playing chess while on the go.

Why wasting your time staring out of the window during your daily commute when you can have a game of chess? Our magnetic chess sets make play on the move possible. Strong magnets inside the pieces ensure that they hold firmly to the board, making it virtually impossible that your winning position is destroyed by a rough train journey or air turbulence in a plane. The bigger sets allow for a more comfortable play and give great stability without the need of making the pieces heavy.

Let’s take a closer look at the primary differences between magnetic chess sets and traditional chess sets, as well as why purchasing a wooden magnetic chess set is a great option for any chess player. Our offer contains tiny pocket models and more standard ones. The magnets are carefully verified while the pieces well balanced. All that allows smooth play and easy chessmen movement on the board. The chess pieces are stored inside the wooden chessboard which make these sets perfect to play almost everywhere.

Magnetic vs. Non-Magnetic
The first thing you need to consider is whether or not you need a magnetic travel chess set versus a nonmagnetic travel chess set. Magnetic boards and pieces are perfect for when you plan to actually play while on the go, such as when you are in the backseat of a car or on a train or plane or will otherwise be in motion. The magnetic boards and pieces will make sure that your game doesn’t slide around as you travel. If you don’t plan to be playing in motion or you don’t mind a bit of risk, then a non-magnetic travel chess set is an acceptable option.

Magnetic Chess Sets vs. Traditional Chess Sets
The primary difference between magnetic chess sets and non-magnetic traditional chess sets is, of course, the presence of magnets. Magnetic chess sets contain a magnetic layer underneath the board as well as magnets inside each of the chess pieces. This means that the pieces will stick to the magnetic board, rather than sliding and moving around as traditional non-magnetic pieces would on a standard chess board. Some magnetic chess boards are designed to be travel sized, so they may feature a folding board design as well as compartment drawers to store pieces in while the game is being transported. Other magnetic boards are standard and cannot be folded.

Benefits of Playing with Magnetic Chess Sets
There are many benefits to playing with magnetic chess sets. The primary benefit, of course, is the fact that the chess pieces remain where you place them. This is beneficial for a few reasons. It allows you to play chess on the go, including on a train, airplane, or even in the backseat of a car; you can cure boredom and practice your chess game all at the same time, without having to worry about the pieces sliding around or going flying if there’s a sudden stop.
Another benefit to magnetic pieces is that they remain where placed for players who may have difficulty moving pieces around. This includes any adult players with unsteady hands as well as children learning how to play the game, who may find it difficult to keep the pieces upright, especially once the game really starts going.
