I own a large board and a small one already. My 11 yo loves using my boards so I bought him his own for a recent road trip and he loves it. Great quality as always.
I think it was a bit expensive for what you get. It works well though, and fairly sturdy
Excellent design. A little awkward visualizing the board with uniform pieces. It takes more time to scan and recognize the position because of how small and similar they look. I know there's a larger board with more recognizable pieces, but I'd rather have the smaller form factor. The other issue is that the magnets are not rare earth and there is no rubber or texture on the bottom of the pieces. Just smooth plastic on plastic which means don't expect the board to hold the position if dropped, or even bumped. Also when simply closing the board, pieces near joints get pressed together and one or both of the touching pieces will shift. Stronger magnets, rubber bases or a magnetized peg board configuration are needed to make this $60 chess board have proper value for money. Hype vs. Design ratio is a little off with this one, unfortunately. Otherwise I really do like the concept as a travel board or for casual play, but don't get it as your first set. You're better off owning it as a second or even third board, and only then if you can find a discount code.
My son wanted a board he could take on the road with him. It works great! Pieces stay in place when he has to move and fits great in a backpack!. 10 out of 10!
The product is great. I had some shipping problems at first and, the customer service is terrific.Very fast shipping too.
