Travel Chess Set
Travel Chess Set | This is a rare wooden-peg travel chess set with inlaid wood squares. It measures just 6 by 6 inches unfolded! BTW, be sure to rotate the board 90 degrees from where you see mine. The black rook in the lower right should be sitting on a light-colored square, not dark. opens in a new windowBuy one of these travel chess sets with the pegs if you can find one. Why?

Travel Chess Set - Lots of Fun in a Small Package
Here's my 50-year-old travel chess set. Most of the new ones you can buy today are magnetic and don't use the wood pegs and holes. I really treasure mine. It's made from real inlaid wood, not plastic!
Mine is only 6 x 6 inches when you have it all set up. It folds up to 3 x 6 x 1 inch when you store it.
