Since the pieces and board are magnetic, people are able to use these sets in moving vehicles or during airplane flights.nbsp Sometimes the magnetic fields are so strong that people can turn the board upside down and the pieces still wont fall off or shift.nbsp
Magnetic chess sets come in a variety of sizes.nbsp Some of them are as small as a checkbook, while others have boards that measure a square foot.nbsp Any size is good for travel, even the square foot models are still very small by chess set standards.nbsp Another feature of magnetic chess sets is that most of them allow for the pieces to be stored inside the board.nbsp The chessboard opens to its full size during play but often has a large storage compartment between the two halves to stow the pieces when they are not in use.nbsp Most sets also have hinges and latches to secure the board and keep it closed when the pieces are contained within.nbspnbspnbspnbsp
There are a variety of pieces used with magnetic chess sets.nbsp Some of the smallest sets have plastic boards with tiny twodimensional plastic pieces.nbsp These pieces have a picture of what they are on the top.nbsp For example, the knight would feature a picture of a horse.nbsp These are usually the smallest magnetic chess sets available.nbsp Other magnetic chess sets are made with high quality rosewood or boxwood pieces.nbsp These sets have the same artistic look of high quality collectors sets with the added functionality of the magnetic field, making them great to look at and great to play with.nbsp The chessboards of these sets are often made of high quality wood as well.nbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp
Magnetic chess sets are a unique and innovative way for people to play chess on the move.

I wonder if Nathaniel Cook and John Jaques ever realized that the staunton chess design would be so dominating as the style of chess sets and the design chosen for global chess tournaments. What would Bill Gates have done Sold a license for each set, andnbsp each game played The reboot functionality would be useful for my poorer games a handy technique for Doh Well have to start the game over again. I bet Bill plays a mean game in practice, no doubt with many similarities to a computer. Before the days of Cook and Jaques the design of chess sets was rather different than todays.
