Classic Walnut Travel Chess Set with Handle

Classic Walnut Travel Chess Set with Handle

Nothing on this board is trying to impress you, and that is why it works. Solid walnut, a plain classic face, a fine lattice cut around the border, and a handle built into the folded edge. That is the whole design. What you get is a wooden chess set that suits any room it lands in, because there is nothing on it to clash with anything.

It is 15.7" / 40 cm open — a real playing size, not a novelty — with maple and walnut inlaid squares and 32 turned pieces that live inside when it closes. At 3 kg you can lift it off a shelf with one hand and be out of the door, which is the entire argument for a travel chess set with a handle: the board you actually take is the board that gets played on.

A Gift Worth Giving

This is the one to give a beginner, a student, a grandchild who has just learned the moves. It is real wood and a real board, it survives being carried around, and it will still be good enough in twenty years when they actually know how to play.
