ABSTRACT:
A chess set game (2) includes a chess set (4), in which two sets of chess pieces (44) are housed within a container (8), and a chess board (6). The board can be divided into four separable quadrants (10-13) which are secured to one another. The chess pieces and the squares (38, 40) of the board have magnets (46, 42) so the chess pieces are attracted to and securely fastened to the centers of the squares. The chess board includes rank and file ID devices (50, 48) which permit the user to change file and rank indicia (54-60) according to which player has the white pieces. The container includes a rectangular bottom (70) and four sides (74-77) pivotally mounted to the outer edge (72) of the bottom. The four sides and the bottom have magnetized spaces (108, 118) against which the chess pieces are secured. Each of the sides has a top portion (82-85) extending therefrom so that when the sides are in their upright, closed positions, the top portions create a closed top (80) for the container.
