Roll-up chess set is not Bobby Fischer approved, but could have been

This roll-up chessboard may not help you defeat a Russian chess legend in a Cold War battle, but it will help you impress your friends a bit and take the game of chess anywhere. The board rolls into a cylinder for easy transport while also serving as the carrying case for the pieces — convenient if you're traveling or if you decide to take the Fischer route and move to Iceland to live as a famous recluse. The board is magnetic and can also double as a checkers set. The cool design might even bring a tear to Fischer's eye, if he were still around.

The Magnetic Chess and Checkers Roll-up Game Board is available for $50.
