Bobby Fischer Mini Magnetic Pocket Chess Set – Travel Size 6 x 3.25 in by WE Games

This trifold magnetic chess set from the Bobby Fischer collection measures just 5.75 x 3.25 inches when folded—compact enough to slide into a jacket pocket. It includes 2 extra queens and 2 blank pieces as replacements, plus algebraic notation printed on all sides to help players learn and follow standard moves. The updated design features a third strongly magnetized panel to keep pieces secure during travel.

What makes this travel chess set different from older versions?

Earlier models had a floppy pocket that didn't hold pieces well. This version uses three rigid, magnetized panels made from high-quality flexible vinyl. The pieces themselves are magnetic, so they stay in place even when the board is folded and stored upright. The vinyl construction is built for constant use and travel.
