The pieces are clearly printed on the flat tops and the magnets are strong but not in a way that makes you feel like you have to pry them apart to play. The fold is nice and you can mostly save a game in process if you have to but the pieces on the home rows will bump into each other a bit when fully closed. They don't move too much though and they don't fall off completely so the positions can be easily fixed. It's lightweight and made to travel so I don't feel like its trying to fall apart in any way. The pieces are small though so if you have eyesight issues, you might want to look for a set with the pieces printed larger or shaped like the classic pieces. Review: Great Portable Chess Sets for Different Needs - I own both the VentureBoard XL and the smaller 6-inch Black & Gray version, and both are excellent travel chess sets with their own advantages. If you have larger or thicker hands, I would recommend the VentureBoard XL. The larger playing surface and pieces are more comfortable to handle, and the recent update to the XL piece design makes it much easier to distinguish the king from the queen during play. The 6-inch Black & Gray version feels slightly more solid and less flimsy when opened. Its compact size makes it ideal for playing in a car, while traveling, or almost anywhere space is limited. Portability is where this model truly shines. The VentureBoard XL offers a more comfortable playing experience but is naturally less portable due to its larger size. My only suggestions for improvement would be: Add felt pads to the bottom of the chess pieces to help prevent scratches on the board. Add a non-slip material or rubber feet to the underside of the board to prevent it from sliding on smooth surfaces. I've owned the 6-inch version for about a month, and I have noticed that the board can develop scratches if the pieces are regularly slid across the playing surface. Overall, both sets are well-designed and highly enjoyable. The 6-inch version is the better choice for maximum portability, while the XL version is the better choice for comfort and ease of play. ## Features - Patented Rolling Chess Set - Ventureboard is a unique 6-inch magnetic chess set that rolls up into a hard shell leaving the pieces in place!

Do both have the coordinates on the sides?** A: I just emailed the manufacturer and received this answer: <> **Q: how well do the magnets stay in place? if it is jostled during travel will the pieces move or fall off the board?** A: I am able to put it in a bag and carry it around and it keeps the pieces positions. If you drop it, it of course will move a little bit but all in all there is a good magnetic connection. **Q: Is there a difference (besides price) between the orange and gray boards? Is one easier to play on?** A: Only have the b/w one but my guess why it is more expensive is just the coloring. More color dye used to make it orange. Otherwise dimensions are all the same and I really like the B/W one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great travel set *by N***E on May 8, 2026* Such a cool thing to be able to take with me anywhere I might get bored.

Conversely, it’s easily re-deployed when required. But will it preserve the chess piece positions? To a large extent, it will. Some of the positions will shift if this chess roll-up is bounced around in say a backpack. However, the preservation of the state of play is good enough. Yet, this isn’t its greatest strength. The important bit here is that it’s actually difficult to drop or loose a piece and there’s more. - The size and proportions of the set fills your perspective when this chess set is held in your hand. To your mind’s eye, it appears as a full-sized board thus making the game-play easier to appreciate. - Extra queens and two other extra pieces are included. - I’ve had the kit for two weeks now and it appears to be sturdy and well made. The inclusion of a tie-bag is a nice touch. - Delivery from Columbus, Ohio to my place in Europe was under three days - utterly amazing! ## Frequently Bought Together - VENTUREBOARD 6 Inches Magnetic Unique Chess Set Board Game - 2 Extra Queens - Folding Board, Portable Travel Chess Board Game Pieces - Black/Grey - VENTUREBOARD XL Full-Size 10 Inches Magnetic Unique Chess Set Board Game - Folding Board, Travel Chess Board Game Pieces - (Black/Grey) - How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/534038518-6-inches-magnetic-unique-chess-set-board-game-2-extra](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/534038518-6-inches-magnetic-unique-chess-set-board-game-2-extra) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
