I like the chess set as well, but I share Matt’s concern. Onsolution would be to magnatize the pieces and board. I’d put a very small, but strong, magnet under each tile http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D31&cat=10. And the same or a slightly larger magnet in each peice http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D33&cat=13 or http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D34&cat=13. These should fit inside the tubes just fine. And keep the peices centerd on a square.

I’m very curious about these magnets. Have you tried them? How tight is the fit into the tubes? Also, do the 2x2 tiles sit properly with the small magnets underneath?

I’m thinking about using these magnets for my copy of the Cathedral board game.

I picked up some samples of these after posting my message. These are a perfect fit. The smaller magnet fits under tiles and plates with no problem, as it’s just a bit shorter then a stud. And the diameter for these is a perfect fit for the tubes. I placed a D33 in the tube of a new 2x4. And the fitis just tight enough at the top of the tube that it’s not comeing out, ever. No glue needed! Now I can make as many LEGO magnets as I want, in any avalible color.

Combined with the magnet under a tile, the brick adhered to the tile, even upside down.

Just be sure to insert all your magnets the sane direction in you peices, and the same for the tile.
