Chess Sets

Chess Sets for Beginners, Clubs, Travel & Display:

Choose from chess sets designed for learning, regular play, clubs, travel and decorative display. The range includes wooden chess sets, folding boards, magnetic chess sets, tournament-style club sets, compact travel designs, marble boards and premium Dal Rossi sets, with options ranging from practical everyday games to more distinctive collector-style pieces.

Wooden, Folding & Magnetic Chess Sets:

Wood is strongly represented throughout the collection. Options include inlaid walnut boards, pine travel sets and hand-carved wooden chess sets, along with folding designs that make storage easier between games. Selected Hanson sets feature inlaid walnut boards that fold into padded, felted storage cases and include classic Staunton-style pieces.

For players who want pieces to stay securely positioned, the LPG Classics 38cm wooden magnetic chess set combines a foldable inlaid wooden board with light and dark brown Staunton pieces.

Chess Sets for Learning & Club Play:

Beginners can choose a dedicated Bobby Fischer Learn to Play Chess Set featuring an illustrated folding board that shows piece setup and permitted moves. It also includes plastic Staunton pieces, two extra queens and an instructional booklet covering the rules and special moves.

For clubs, competitions and repeated play, LPG Classics Club Chess Sets use plastic pieces with a roll-up 20-inch fabric and rubber board. The board is designed to lie without creases, roll up for storage and fit into the included carry bag.

Travel & Space-Saving Chess Sets:

Compact travel chess sets provide a smaller format for playing away from home. The natural-finish pine travel sets fold down for storage, while the magnetic wooden option provides another portable choice.

The collection also includes a vertical chess set made from wood and acrylic. This wall-hanging design uses Staunton-style pieces and creates a floating vertical game rather than a conventional tabletop layout.

Marble & Premium Chess Sets:

For a more decorative chess board, there are fossil and white marble sets, black and white marble designs and larger premium wooden sets. Dal Rossi options include walnut folding boards, mahogany and carbon-fibre-look finishes, themed Egyptian sets and an Isle of Lewis set with solid pewter pieces.

When choosing a chess set, consider the board size, material and how it will be used. Folding or magnetic boards suit portable play, club sets prioritise practicality, while walnut, marble and themed chess sets offer a more substantial option for regular play or display.
