This little chess set is ideal for those on the move who can't bear to be too far away from a game of chess. Each of the tiny chess men is pegged so that they are stable on the board. Each of the squares is a separate slice of hardwood, the outer case is Golden Rosewood (sheesham) and has been left natural with a fragrant beeswax polish instead of lacquer.
The whole set folds neatly away into the round container, there is a hole on each side of the board so that the taken chess men can be dropped back into the container and not get lost. Ideal for those long train journeys on modern British railways, assuming you can find a seat of course.
A lightweight, compact and very portable chess set that represents extremely good quality for the price. Order now and get yours before that train arrives.
