I saw a magnetic chess set similar to this on Esty so I thought I would give it a shot. The second picture is the back side showing how I put the magnets in the board. I should have cleaned up my bench before I took the picture. I used CA glue to glue the 1/4" magnets on the back of the chess pieces.

very nice.  I like the inner frame.

It has been a while (25 yrs) since I played chess.  So Mate in 27 moves :)  hah. White wins. 

I think this is a dangerous black opening.  It is using opposite bishop pawn of the Sicilian defense. Opens up black kings diagonal.  

It is nice that you made extra queens. 

You might want to hang the board with the white square on the bottom right.  

Or just make the pieces play left and right instead of top / bottom.

Thanks so much for the reminder about white on bottom right. I sure wasn't thinking there. Will have to change  that.

I knew it, Dave, when you asked about or showed one several weeks ago you were planning something really cool,  You never let us down.  But I say shut up you two about the moves.. I am an old chess player from way back.. I hold a record that I am very proud of, I have never won a game!  Several years ago, My grandson went with us to Mount Rushmore, I decided to teach him to play chess on that trip...He beat me on my first game when I was trying to train him!!
