• Product Description

If space and ease to carry is the most important factor, this little magnetic travel chess set is the perfect choice. This magnetic travel chess set is small enough to fold up and slip into your front shirt pocket and carry anywhere. Measuring 7.75" x 6.6" and only about .21" thick, it weighs almost nothing but large enough to easily play a game wherever you might be. The pieces are round magnetic discs with a picture of the piece on top and are easy to move from one square to the next. There's a place to conveniently hold captured pieces on each side. Made of a durable plastic, it folds in half and snaps closed. For the price, you won't find a better travel chess set this size.

Great for going through different variations while studying or teaching.

Love this travel chess set for travel or analysis

The board arrived with bends on the playing surface and one corner peeling up. Frustrating that quality control didn’t pick that up.

I watched the video on the travel sets and chose this one for the solid base. It is a great little set, easy to setup and store (storage case should be slightly oversized to fit easier, but it works). Chess pieces are easy to move. My son and I move it around all the time and plan to take it on the road soon. Price is great, quick delivery, all good...

Northern Urals: Manpupuner Plateau and Dyatlov Pass

No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Nature , Regions , Travel

The Northern Urals is one of the most hard-to-reach areas of the Urals, but it gradually becomes more popular among tourists primarily thanks to two main attractions: the rock formations on the Manpupuner Plateau and the Dyatlov Pass.

Both of these places are covered with legends. Although one of them was created by nature, and the second – by human tragedy that is still an unsolved mystery. Photos by: Slava Stepanov .
