LEXiBOOK - Harry Potter Chess Games, Magnetic and Foldable Chess Board, 32 Pieces, Family Game, CGM300HP

I love having this chess board when I want the tactile feel of pieces when playing a computer.There are lots of difficult levels, different modes, and clever features like showing where all of the pieces should be positioned on the board (if you happen to hit the board and mix up the pieces).The only thing that would make it better is if the pieces had more weight. They work fine, but they are very light. The good thing is that you can use different pieces since the board works by pressure and not sensing the pieces themselves.It's an intelligently and elegantly designed board. You'll love it.

I really like this Chess game. It works well and as intended. One thing you might want to do is replace the chess pieces with heavier ones (magnets for weight) . I did and now I am really liking it!

Made a good gift, nice to use and play.

Packaging was fine, came secure. First issue, the battery compartment doesn’t work. I bought new batteries specifically for this device and it doesn’t work. I just so happened to have an appropriate Jack for the chessboard, so I was able to use it. It performs well, it’s definitely something I would gift to a nephew or niece, but you get what you pay for, so don’t set yourself up for failure. Overall I like the board, little small for my 31yo hands, but perfect for my son.

Got it for its portability and price. Not for adults. Very small pieces, and not made for adult hands. Hard to tell pieces apart during the game. Will not let you move pawn 2 spaces on initial move. It now sits on the shelf.

This is my son's easter gift. I already got it out and played with it. I think this will work well on outr road trip and camping adventures.

So for my 9 year old chess player, it's perfect! The set up is the same as the board in the movie. ALSO I love the magnetic feature that helps when playing. The foldable and portable STORAGE is a great feature.. keeps her pieces together with a easy transport.

The Lexibook brand seemed to be a very nice one to get a chess board from. This chess board functions great! I especially like the fact that it has red lights under each square. All the functions of this board are amazing! However, the pieces are small and feel very cheap. I looked over a review saying this, but I didn't believe it. Be warned! The pieces also slide very easily, so unless you're playing this on a table, they won't stay still. I had gotten it with the intention of being able to place it on my lap and play on a couch but the pieces slide too easily. The instruction manual was very clear, and I was able to understand most of the major functions of the board. The tray that holds the pieces was a very nice feature, however, it feels like really cheap plastic and the tray can give you trouble. It came out a couple times. I eventually returned this item for a magnetic one. Overall, Likes: Function, modes, lights, and intelligence. Dislikes: Small, cheap, non-magnetic pieces and flimsy tray.
