10-Inch Magnetic Travel Chess Set — Folding Portable Board
Review
This travel chess set includes a 9.8-inch (commonly marketed as 10") folding board and a full complement of chess pieces that fit neatly inside the case when closed. Two extra queens are provided so you won’t be left without a promotion piece during extended play.
Each chess piece contains a small magnet so they remain seated on the board even when the surface is jostled — useful on trains, cars, boats or any moving environment. The folding board design keeps everything compact for storage and makes the set easy to slip into a backpack or carry-on.
The pieces and board are molded from durable resin material that’s non-toxic; the product has been tested to relevant child-safety standards (CPC and EN71) to reduce exposure risks. The set is sized to be portable yet large enough for comfortable play away from home.
Customer support is available if you run into issues: replacements are offered within a three-month window and the manufacturer provides a 24-hour response for inquiries.
Pros
- Compact folding design with internal piece storage
- Magnetized pieces stay secure on moving surfaces
- Includes two extra queens for promotions
Cons
- Pieces are hollow plastic rather than solid wood
- Smaller footprint may feel tight for serious play
- Some buyers report occasional quality inconsistencies
VerdictThis folding 10-inch chess set is designed for travel: the board stores all pieces inside, includes two extra queens, and uses magnets to keep pieces steady on bumpy journeys. The resin construction is non-toxic and certified for safety, making it suitable for kids and adults who want a lightweight, portable option for casual play. It’s a practical pick for car trips, flights, or family outings wh

Solid build for a small set
Nice little set with decent piece weight. Better quality than expected for a compact travel option.

Matches photos and packs small
Looks like the pictures and feels well made. Easily fits in a backpack; when folded it’s about the height of a large water bottle.

Excellent for traveling players
Magnets hold the pieces solidly and the compact board is ideal for trips. Lightweight to carry and fun to use anywhere. Highly recommended!

Pieces stay put even with kids around
My 7-year-old loves it. Magnets keep pieces secure even if the little one bumps by; folds in half and stores everything inside. Great for family travel.

Smart purchase for the money
Board and pieces are a good size and comfortable to handle. Construction seems sturdy, magnets keep pieces steady in the back seat, and everything stores inside the board.

Kids loved it at the church group
Bought this for the children’s group and they immediately took to it. Piece storage, portability and magnetic hold were a big hit; parents appreciate the learning value.
