I can take it with me anywhere.
All of the components are of a nice quality; the board is sturdy; it folds out nice and flat, and closes up securely; and I appreciate that the game pieces are in reusable zip-lock bags, and not just rolling around inside the storage compartment. I suppose you could even mark coordinates with a Sharpie for the light squares, and get creative with marking the dark ones.☺
Maybe not everyone would like a chess set this small, and I would specifically recommend it for children who are at least 7 years old, without any younger siblings, or pets who have an affinity for chewing on small objects, because the pieces are REALLY tiny!! The King and the Queen are the length of an adult's pinky first-joint; the pawns are the length of an adult's thumbnail.
One other caveat: the little magnets tend to fall out (factory glue gone dry) . . . the set that I received had two pieces which were missing their magnets. There was one loose magnet in one of the little zip-lock bags that the pieces came in; the other magnet was AWOL; it must have fallen out somewhere at the factory, before that piece was put in the baggie. I was able to "super glue" the loose magnet back in place for one piece, and I contacted Amazon to enquire about receiving a seller-issued replacement magnet for the other, but their only option was to return the entire game, and wait for a new set to be sent to me. It's such a minor issue that I chose to "McGyver" that other one, so that it would stay in place during use while traveling, etc.
Overall, I'm happy!!😊
The pieces are nice, and the magnets are just right, pieces never slide but are easy to move. Some people may not like the silver/bronze colors instead of normal white/black, but I don't mind. One of the magnets wasn't connected to a piece when I got it, but I just glued it back on without any trouble.
The construction of the board is my only minor concern. I feel like if I were to carry the board outside the box it might open by itself and spill all the tiny pieces all inside my bag, This has never happened, because I always carry it in the box, which doesn't make it any bigger.
Overall, it's is a great value, especially considering the low price. I recommend it to anyone looking for a miniature chess set.
