Yes me too.
I bought a set like this because I was going to the local library every
wednesday evening to play chess. I could just walk up to the table, even if you
did not know the person or rating they would play, it was great fun back then.
This set was easy to carry, has little straps that hold the pieces inside.
I still have the set and it is in good shape.
