glad to hear it
the Phantom pieces are a world onto themselves(the original pieces i mean)
they are very light and thin as you know so i am not surprised to learn they
wont work on a non Phantom board

but as you see, a normal magnetic pieces with a little weight to it will work
fine
and not just on your President board
this will be true for most A/S boards

i have Fidelity A/S boards where i am using a mixture of Fidelity pieces and
Novag pieces and Mephisto pieces
