Travel and Folding Sets
Our Travel and Folding Chess Sets are designed for players who want to enjoy the game wherever they go. Compact, durable, and beautifully made, these sets combine practicality with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring you can take your favourite pastime on the move without compromise.
Each set features a carefully hinged wooden board that folds neatly in half, creating a convenient storage compartment for the pieces inside. Secure clasps or magnetic closures keep everything safely contained, while the interior is lined or padded to protect each chessman during travel. When unfolded, the board lies perfectly flat, providing a smooth and stable playing surface.
Crafted from fine hardwoods such as sheesham, walnut, and maple, these sets offer the same elegance and quality associated with full-sized chessboards. The chessmen are often magnetised or weighted for added stability, making them ideal for play on trains, planes, or holidays.
Compact yet refined, a Travel and Folding Chess Set from Official Staunton makes it easy to enjoy chess wherever inspiration strikes. Combining intelligent design with timeless style, these sets are perfect for players who value portability, craftsmanship, and the enduring pleasure of the game.
