Purchase options and add-ons
- [Unbeatable Design] The chine of a traditional folding board always inevitably bulges, which creates a huge gap on the board centre. A&A original mini bracket supports the board like a table leg, so the board is completely flat when played! And the mini bracket can also provide excellent protection for the table surface from the metal lock of the chess box.
- [Perfect Proportions] A&A is the only chess set on the market that meets the standard proportions of USCF and FIDE.Includes 24 checkers pieces. 15 inch board with 1.57 inch maple /walnut squares, come with Staunton pieces of 3 inch king height and 1.18 inch base diameter. (King height is twice the square, and base diameter is 75 percent of the square).
- [Premium Quality] A&A Chess insists on the natural wood rather than staining to get the product's appearance color, and the first of its kind design of chess pieces tray makes you feel comfortable at the moment of opening the box.
- [Amazing Details] A&A Chess and checker set presents you with incredibly good details: the 0.5 inch thick frame with mortise and tenon joints makes the box sturdy; the rounded corners are visual and tactile comfortably.
- [Extended Warranty] We promise to provide you with up to 365 days of product warranty, so you can buy with confidence.

Product Description
A&A CHESS SET
A&A introduces a Wooden Folding Chess Set, seamlessly blending classic elegance with practical design. Crafted from premium wood, each piece is a testament to skilled craftsmanship. Portable and exquisite, it includes exclusive Strategy Rules for players of all levels.
2 in 1 Chess & Checkers Set
Do you know? Folding chessboards always have an unavoidable Issue.
Patented Design : 4 mini brackets ensure a flat and seamless surface for the chess board. The two board segments appear as one.
When the folding chessboard is laid out flat, the hinge will cause a raised seam at the connecting line, resulting in not only an uneven surface but also a gap in the middle. The quality of the Hinge almost determines the lifespan of the chessboard, and the higher the quality of the hinge, the greater the height difference it produces. A&A's commitment to detail. Always keenly noticing intricacies to perfection. This inconspicuous Balance Legs compensate for the hinge height difference, perfectly resolving this issue.
What Function Do These Brackets Serve?
Provide a Flat Surface
Compensate for hinge height difference, providing a flat surface for the chessboard
Seamless Joining of Two Board Pieces
Resolve the issue of unevenness at the folds in the folding chessboard
No Gap In The Middle
When the board is unfolded and placed, there is no gap in the center, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable playing experience

- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024Edition: Chess set Only - Magnetic PiecesVerified PurchaseThis is by far, the nicest travel chess set I've ever purchased. From the moment you first unbox this at, you notice the quality. The board is beautiful. The pieces actually look like they may have been handmade. The whole set is a work of art. There are little flaws here and there, but only two that I care to complain about. The feet on the board are tiny little pins for holding the set closed. I found they left marks in my table after my nephew and I had a game. He is young and tends to lean on the board, so this shouldn't be a problem with adults players. The second thing is, the clasp on the right side was broken on arrival. There is a tiny pin that holds it tightly closed. That is missing. These are very minor complaints. So much so that I ordered a second set, as I'm sure that it will arrive in no less than perfect condition.
As somewhat of an afterthought, the magnets are great. They hold the pieces firmly in place.
TL;DR. This is a terrific set, well worth the price. I bought two once I saw how nice the quality is.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025Edition: Chess & Checkers - Weighted PiecesVerified PurchaseGood quality! Easy storage.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024Edition: Chess set Only - Magnetic PiecesVerified PurchaseI've owned this board for little over a year now, and it has been absolutely incredible. I collect chess sets, and own over 100 different sets. I also (try) to play chess at a club level, so I appreciate when things are playable for standard more official chess settings. I've played over 50 games with this board in blitz, rapid, and classical style formats. From this experience, here are my pro's and con's
Pros:
- Piece design:
The piece design in superb. To put it simply, these are the best wooden chess pieces I've ever used in a magnetic chess set. It closely resembles that of the DGT timeless pieces which are the top of the line. Many other sets write "handmade wooden pieces" in their titles but end up just including a set of generic mass made cheap wooden sets, but this company does not. They feel great in the hands, look fantastic, and are very durable. The contrast between the pieces and the board is brilliant, and allows for very pleasant play. The wood grain is also NOT fake, which I am very happy with. They are real wooden pieces that do not have that glossy cheap look.
- Magnets:
The magnets are perfect for this size of board. They stay on at decently extreme angles, and during blitz play pieces rarely fall down. They also have a very satisfying sound when placing down on the board.
- Board quality:
Board is very smooth and level. I never really ever have issues with the seam and it has withstood several drops, hits, and literal smacking from small children. I have taken it abroad to two countries and it still plays great. Overtime mine has seen several scratches and nicks, but I've used this in a more extreme case. I actually like the "weathered" look it's taking on as well.
- Value
Given the quality of the board, pieces, and magnets, I don't think you can find a better deal. This is the highest value magnetic set I have found so far.
Cons:
- Putting pieces back:
The magnets are not all the same direction. This causes pieces to snap to each other, or stick to the sides of other pieces. While this is not an issue when playing at all, it is annoying when putting it back after you're done. However this is really not a problem and adds maybe only an extra 10 seconds to your time when cleaning up.
- Base size of Queen and King:
These two pieces have slightly larger bases than the rest of the pieces. It doesn't impact playability but it irks me that they're not all the same size. I'm guessing this was to compensate for their taller height.
- Size options:
This size is fantastic for serious games, and works on many different surfaces. However for portability it is pretty sizeable and barely fits in my laptop backpack. The thickness also makes it cumbersome to carry around if you have a small bag. I wish there were maybe 3 sizes (small, medium, large) where this would be more on the medium size.
Overall:
This is my top pick for serious portable chess, and is my first recommendation anytime anyone asks. I really appreciate the quality they've put into this. Make sure you pay attention to the dimensions carefully and know that it will be slightly on the larger side. If that isn't an issue for you, you cannot find a better deal for the price!

This was a gift for my nephew who discover a new passion for chess. Beautiful board well made. It also came with a little strategy book and stickers that he appreciated. I love the fact that each pieces have a space for storage so less chances to lose pieces. I strongly recommend this chess board.

3.0 out of 5 stars No tiene la calidad que esperaba.
Edition: Chess set Only - Magnetic PiecesVerified PurchaseUno de los dos seguros, para mantener cerrado el tablero, venía con la espiga que entra en la otra parte, rota. Al abrir por primera vez el tablero, terminó en la mesa. No sé si por ese motivo, ese seguro está flojo, no cierra bien el tablero. Por otro lado, uno de los peones negros, trae una cortada en la parte superior, casi como si fuera un alfil. También una torre de cada color, traía las rebabas de la madera del corte de las almenas. De los primeros dos puntos adjunto fotografías.
