The 12 inch hardwood folding travel chess set is beautifully crafted and includes a magnetic closing mechanism as well as magnetic pieces. Ideal for chess on the go ! The board is painstakingly inlaid with individual pieces of wood and hand polished to create a more natural finish. The pieces hand crafted and despite their size, are surprisingly detailed. This is a set of such superb quality, it would suggest a higher price tag than that listed. Offering additional queens and great value for money, this is an ideal gift for any chess enthusiast.
