I've been trying to buy one of these for years. The sort of thing I have in mind was common twenty-five years ago but has now sunk into invisibility.

I want a board about eight inches square (that's about 22 centimetres), with flaps which open and provide space for captured pieces. Strong magnetism, and the pieces obviously about three-quarters of an inch square (say two centimetres).

Chess Sutton Coldfield used to do one of these in a brown cover with Chess, Sutton Coldfield on the front, and "Made in Denmark" and "a-behrend" round the edge of the board inside, and I've seen a similar one which I think had something to do with Gausdal (bought there, I think).

Does anyone have any idea where I could obtain such an object? They appear to be unfashionable here in favour of the comparative rubbish Malcolm's emporium and the BCM shop peddle (and every congress bookshop I've seen).

Any help much appreciated; surely the collective wisdom of Chesspublishing and Google can crack this conundrum?
