ACTION ITEM: Really great travel chess set available. I have one.

This came into my email and I am eager to get the news out to you.

Sure, I push chess in my Daily Rome Shot posts.  I wanted to make sure you saw this.

Some time ago, I bought a great travel set from Chess House (with which I have an affiliate program).  It is simply the best travel set I’ve seen.  It weighs hardly anything.  The pieces are magnetic.  The board has a pleasant leather backing.  It packages up into a little bag.  It looks nice.

Right now there is a 15% sitewide sale for Labor Day with code LABORDAY valid through 4 Sept 2023. Otherwise, FATHERZ10 gets you 10% anytime.

A few shots.

Up on its side.  Magnetic pieces could be slightly stronger, but hey!  They are getting it done!

With the storage bags.

Here it is in action from when I was at the wonderful conference for priests held by Scott Hahn’s St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

The foldable board actually lies flat.

This is the set I had with me the day I took my car in for its checkup at a dealership.  A game got a room full of people standing around chatting rather than looking at screens.  Daily Rome Shot 682.

This set now also comes with extra queens.  I’ve written to them to see if I can get extras for my set.

Do yourselves a favor if you travel or you want a set for your pack or brief case or whatever.

There’s a metal ring on the outer bag so it could be clipped or MOLLE’d onto something.

90 Day guaranteed return, but I’ll bet you’ll keep yours.

Even if you are not sure about the set, please click on my link and take a look, help my stats.
