Wooden Magnetic Chess Set 15-inch Board ♟

This wooden magnetic chess set combines classic Staunton styling with portability, offering a compact solution for casual play, travel, or display. The 15-inch folding board and handcrafted walnut and maple pieces make it suitable for adults and children who want a tactile, stable set for home, tournaments, or on-the-go games.

Key Points

The board opens to a 15 x 15 x 1 inch playing surface with approximately 1.61-inch squares, giving each piece room to move without feeling cramped. When folded the set measures about 15 x 7.5 x 2 inches and weighs roughly 3.6 pounds, so it can be carried to parks, clubs, or family visits. Pieces have felt bottoms to protect the board and room surfaces, and the set includes two extra queens to allow for pawn promotion rules.

Benefits

Strong internal magnets keep the handcrafted pieces in place, which helps maintain position during travel or on slightly uneven surfaces. The brass hinges allow the board to open and close without warping, and the snap closures align to secure the set for storage. The visible wood grain and polished finish give the set a decorative presence when left on a shelf or table.

Usage Recommendations

Store pieces in the board’s foam-lined interior after play to prevent scratches and loss. For outdoor use, keep the set on a stable surface to avoid tipping, even though the magnets help hold pieces steady. Consider the set for learning and tournament practice, remembering that square size and piece weight match casual and club-level play rather than official tournament specifications, according to the manufacturer.
