Andux Chess Pieces and Rollable Board QPXQ-01 (Black,35x35cm)

I brought this for camping trips. I went for the smaller one and its about 50% bigger than I expected but thats my fault for not looking at the dimensions.

I wanted something big enough to use, small enough to pack and the tube it come in is quite big but by no means too but. It went into my backpack no problem and to be fair had it been the size I was expecting I think it would have been too fiddly to actually use.

I LOVE IT. Spending a night by a camp fire and a river drinking and relaxing playing chess (badly) was amazing. Its now part of my essential kit

Its well made, the mat actually sits flat and light as a feather.

My only tip would be to paint a red and white dot on the bishops heads as after a few jack n comes I kept mistaking it for a pawn

Would recommend in a heart beat.

The roll up chess board has long been a solution to taking a chess set with you when travelling.
The Netflix series The Queens Gambit shows Beth using a roll up leather type version of this type of chess set.
Research shows they cost a fair bit of money.
This on the other hand is a budget priced and functional alternative to the one Beth uses.
The cardboard tube it comes with would benefit from having some duck tape wrapped round it to help it live longer.
The pieces are plastic.
They are small but functional.
The board is vinyl and lays flat.
Its functional and worth the money.
P.S
If you have not seen The Queens Gambit on Netflix and dont know who Beth Harmon then I recommend you check it out.
