This is my favorite little travel chess set. The magnets are strong enough so that when closed the pieces dont shift unless you reall give it a good shake. Also the captured pieces are stored on either end of the board which great for a game in progress. It measures 6" x 8".
I have tried several pegged sets but a few pieces always seem to come loose when closed and put in my pocket or bag. Plus, at least on the pegged sets I own, the pawns are the same size, if not bigger, than the other pieces. That kind of bugs me.

Yeah that's similar to the one I want. Is the sides where you put the out of play pieces magnetized too, so you can save in progress games?
Yes, the entire area is magentized. It really is a nice set.
Where did you get yours from? I see similar ones but not with those pieces. That set looks almost perfect to me.
Lovely sets....if you ever feel like sending them to a fine home, then I can provide the adress!
