Travel Chess Sets
For avid players, it can often be frustrating and tiresome to play chess on the go. So what is the solution? Purchase a travel set. Generally they are compact and can be ready to go anywhere and any time. They can be stored in a brief case, or just in the car for a quick pick-up game.
There are different types of travel chess sets including the following:
Magnetic
The magnetic travel set is just that, each piece has a little magnet on the bottom and will stick to the chess board. They are also much more compact than a regular set. This type of travel chess set is especially nice for in the car, or anywhere you may experience bumpy terrain.
Pegged
A pegged travel set is generally made of wood. The pieces store in a compartment under the board itself, and much like the magnetic sets it is very compact. There are peg-holes drilled onto the board, and each piece has an attached dowel on the bottom to securely slide them in place.
Electronic
The electronic travel chess set is great for a one person player. It has so many options and versatility that make it good for beginning or advanced player. Tutorials are available that can walk you through all kinds of great options.
Now you can enjoy playing chess wherever you go! Travel sets are the perfect way to enjoy a game in flight, in the park or in the car. No matter where your travels take you, you will be able to take your love of chess with you. |
