Quality You Can Trust – Jaques of London have been busy inventing and crafting some of the world’s most beloved family games and toys for over 225 years. Get the chequered challenge underway with two ways to play, with the Jaques of London Magnetic Chess Set with draughts pieces. The board is made of wood, and the chess pieces are handmade by professional craftsmen that carefully selected from wood.

As the inventors of the world-renowned Staunton chess piece design, we play host to 2 player chess for kids and adults alike.I like this one because it is magnetic so it can be on display without worrying about the tiny pieces being knocked off the board. Each chess and draughts piece features a concealed magnet in the base, providing fluid movement and preventing any slight knocks from disrupting game play. It's true, traditionally chess is associated with nerdy turtleneck types, but 1) you should never mock a person who's been told they're a Grand Master of anything, and 2) we're not here to judge anyone for their choice of sporting attire. While not a travel set per se, this set will be taken from room to room in the house and used in various places -- lounge chair, sofa, bed, desk, whatever.

In a world of mass-produced goods, our Handmade Wooden Magnetic Travel Chess Sets stand as a testament to the enduring appeal of artisan craftsmanship. A 3D board seems like it would be easier for me to "visualize" but having said that I don't have any trouble with "visualization" on a computer screen or on one of the large demonstration boards with the flat pieces.
