FAQs

What are the dimensions of the chess set?

The chess board measures 29 x 29cm when open and folds down to 29 x 14cm for storage and transport.

Are the chess pieces included?

Yes, a full set of sleek chess pieces is included with the board.

How are the pieces stored?

The pieces are stored inside the folded board in individual, felt-lined compartments that are cut to fit each piece securely.

Is this set suitable for professional tournaments?

While suitable for casual play and practice, its compact size and wooden construction may not meet the specifications for professional tournament boards.

How should I clean the wooden board?

Wipe the board with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the wood.

Does the board lock closed?

Yes, the folding board features clasps that lock it shut, ensuring secure storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Board does not close securely

Ensure all chess pieces are properly seated within their individual compartments before folding. Check that the clasps are aligned correctly and not obstructed.

Pieces are rattling inside when folded

Verify that each piece is in its designated felt-lined slot. Ensure the felt lining is intact and not dislodged.

Wood appears dry or dull

Gently wipe the wooden surfaces with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Allow to air dry completely before storage.

Clasps feel stiff

Gently work the clasps back and forth a few times. Avoid forcing them, as this could damage the mechanism. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.
