    Bought this a few days ago from wholesalechess.com.  Thus far I am incredibly satisfied with it.  The magnets in the board and pieces are very strong, which hold your position well, the board itself is sturdy, the pieces are nicely carved, and the craftsmanship is good.  Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

    This isn't the best chess set as it is made from wood and wood can easily get harmed

    The knight is SO CUTE!! lol

    When folded half, the board's width is similar to that of iPhone. Nice size to carry with, but some friends complain that it's not easy to pick one chessman without touching several pieces around it.

    People who are new to chess also complain that the bishop is not tall enough and difficult to distinguish with pawns.(Bishop's height is almost the same as pawns', if there weren't the small 'ball' on the top of bishop's head.) They wish the bishop were more slender and taller, but I'm okay with it.

    The hinges, which connect each half of chessboard, protrude from the bottom so that the chessboard cannot be completely unfolded 180 degrees if positioned on flat, hard surfaces. The hinges create a little slope. I think the maker should have installed some small supports around the margin or at corners...

    Other than these minor disadvantages, this is a very good chess set to carry around. The wood craftmanship is excellent, and the magnetic force is really firm(you can play upside down all the time!)
