I have been looking for my grail portable chess set for years. This is the closest to perfect yet. It is the only design where if you don’t drop or bump it hard your pieces will remain where you left them. You unroll the board and there is your paused game. Feels magical. Apart from tiny pegged chess sets no others have been able to accomplish that that I’ve come across aside from Drueke which I find very clumsy to play with because the magnets are so strong. I bought one chess XL set from Amazon which arrived quickly. Not knowing it had extra queens (fantastic) I bought another via the website that was labeled as having them. I will definitely have use for it. The downside is that my set from the website is not making progress in the shipping process. It was shipped quickly, but after a couple days it stalled and has been “delayed” a couple miles from my house for around six days. There is no delivery date estimate. So, fantastic board for many reasons including durability, solid customer support and top notch design, but I am not impressed with the shipping process from the website so far. Here’s hoping it arrives soon.
I take it everywhere!
Shipped fast, and man, I was not disappointed. Sturdy, compact and just plain cool. What a fun product you designed. Thanks!
I bought the larger chess / checkers set, along with the mini go and backgammon sets. The small ones are very easy to use when you are traveling. The larger one comes in a tube that's reminiscent of a bottle of fine wine or even champagne.
It deserves that.
It's an excellent board. I can play checkers on it with my son and chess on it with pretty much anyone, and I do use it to solve chess problems.
I can hardly wait to see what other games they might produce!
Very excited to gift to my child for the holidays - I took a look at the board and pieces and they all seem very high quality!
