New Product: Pocket Chess Set You’ll Actually Want to Own
Whether you’re a chess veteran or just starting your chess journey, having the right chess set is a must. The elite tournament-level chess sets (including the iconic World Chess Championship set) provide plenty of excellent options for table-top play, but there is almost nothing in the travel or pocket-size chess sets category.
World Chess has developed a new pocket-sized chess set that fits in your pocket, just like a wallet (remember those?). Yet it’s a pleasure to play with. The size, while designed for travel, gives the players a sense of the board and can hold a serious game.
The set has been in some way inspired by Grandmaster Daniil Dubov, who complained that there are no decent travel chess sets and he even buys several inferior ones whenever he sees them on sale, simply because he needs them for gifts and to use on his own.
The set is made with natural leather, and magnets keep pieces in place. The set is foldable, and can be kept in a custom leather pouch with a stamped World Chess hexagon. The set, just like other official luxury sets, has extra Queens. The shape of the pieces is the same as on (https://chessarena.com/ FIDE Online Arena)), the official FIDE Online gaming platform. The pieces have been designed by Bureau Gorbunov.
The size of the set — 136mm, square size — 17mm.The playing area and pieces have been treated with a protective surface. We recommend the board and pieces are kept within the provided designed pockets. With frequent use, the chess set will acquire a patina and the best way to care for your Pocket Chess set, is to use it.
