About Magnetic Folding Travel Chess Set:
- Function
The function of a travel chess set is to provide access to a chess game anywhere at any time. They are compact in size and usually fold up to prevent the loss of tiny chess pieces. They are great companions for long road trips and can be handed back and forth between you and a friend as you wait in line or eat at a restaurant. Some models of travel chess sets are even small enough to fold up and stick in a pocket, making them a very ready and available form of entertainment no matter where you are
- Types
Several types of travel chess sets are available, but the two most common are peg sets and magnetic sets. Pegged sets have holes in the middle of each square, and a "peg" sticking out of the bottom of each piece so that they stay where you put them. This is a very handy feature to have when being jostled around in a car or airplane. The other type is magnetic, and feature either flat square magnets with the pieces identified on the top, or actual small chess pieces with magnets in the bases and a metal board. Electronic varieties exist and usually come with an engine so you can even play by yourself against the computer
- Identification
A travel chess set can be identified quickly by its small size and peg or magnetic pieces, something you won't find in traditional sets. A travel chess set can range in size from just a few inches across to a 12-by-12-inch board, depending on the style. Most travel chess sets either fold up or have a lid, another feature not found on a full-size set. The manufacturer usually denotes these sets as "travel sets," so there is no mistaking what you are purchasing
- Considerations
When considering purchase of a travel-style chess set, keep in mind that the pieces are often very small and hard to handle. If you have bigger hands, make sure you are getting a larger travel set, or the possibility of knocking over pieces when trying to make moves is very high. Consider also where you will be playing. Peg sets are fine for most road trips; but if the going gets bumpy, a magnetic set may best suit your needs. Do you need it to fold up in a hard case, or is a pliable vinyl board acceptable
- Benefits
The benefits of a travel chess set go beyond simply having one available for a game any time you wish. Tournament players often use these little sets to study with when they are on the move. The set-up time is minimal, if at all, and in seconds a complete chess set can be ready for analyzing games or going over certain opening lines. They are also inexpensive
Tips(Movement of the Pieces):- (1 king 1 queen 2 rooks 2 bishops 2 knights 8 pawns )Each piece moves in a different way
- The rook moves any number of vacant squares along rows or columns (forward, backward, left or right). It also is involved (with the king) in the special move called castling
- The bishop moves any number of vacant squares diagonally. Consequently a bishop stays on squares of the same color throughout a game
- The queen moves any number of vacant squares in any direction along a row, column, or diagonal.
- The king moves only one vacant square in any direction. It can also castle in conjunction with a rook
- The knight moves to a vacant square in an "L"-shape (two spaces forward, backward, left, or right and one space perpendicular to it). The knight can jump over other pieces when moving
- The pawn can only move forward one space, or optionally two spaces when on its starting square, in a straight line away from the player. When there is an enemy piece one square diagonally ahead from the pawn (either left or right), then the pawn may capture that piece. A pawn can perform a special type of capture of an enemy pawn called en passant. If the pawn reaches a back rank of the opposite player, it undergoes promotion to the player's choice of a rook, bishop, queen or knight

05-17-2011- Other Thoughts: I have to agree that this is a great travel chess set. As described by other users, you have the ability to close the set up, turn it on its side, carry it around and then open it to the same game. It seems like an obvious design.

05-05-2011- Other Thoughts: This is a high-quality, portable chess set. It's larger than most magnetic sets, and it comes with a lid so that you can simply cover the board and continue playing later. The magnetized pieces stay in place.

04-13-2011- Other Thoughts: The board is solid, the closure is well-designed, the pieces are molded very well and all have consistently strong magnets (none of the pieces in my set slide off the board if it's tilted).

04-05-2011- Other Thoughts: I really like this set. I use this set for travel and keep it on my desk for study purposes. The pieces are nicely shaped and easily recognizable, which is not always the case with small travel sets. The magnetism is perfectly balanced - it should be strong enough to keep the pieces from moving in a bouncing car or plane, but not so strong as to be noticeable when moving a piece. All in all, a great set at a great price.

03-21-2011- Other Thoughts: This is the perfect chess set for travel. The magnetic pieces are easy to move, yet stay in place even in the car or on turbulent flights. We have been using ours heavily for over a year and it is still in great shape.

03-03-2011- Other Thoughts: You can turn the board upside down and the parts stick and don't fall, yet the magnets are not so strong that they interfere with regular play. You might even forget they are magnetic. Certainly the pieces do not attract each other.
