Absolutely!!! Go to DRUEKE.com. They have one that's really compact and magnetic. My wife and I got one and love it! Just click on "view products" then "chess" when you get to the site, then page down to "magnetic chess" and click that. The model no. is 877.10 and is shown on the site. They have lots of nice sets. If you get the 877.10 model, it's so compact that the bishops are easy to confuse with the pawns. So, what I did was paint the tiny ball on the top of the bishops with red paint (or fingernail polish) and it solves the problem beautifully. One feature that you will want in a compact chess set is for it to have a place to put captured pieces. This one has a wide enough border around the edges that captured pieces can be put there and held magnetically for safe keeping. Good luck!

you can find it easily in departmental stores or airport duty free stores, look for the travel pack, normally small and came with magnetic, available in different kind of game, for example back gammon, checker, chess etc.
