My brother likes wearing bandannas, and likes Chess - so, for his
birthday (Jul 24), I've ordered him the Chessboard Bandanna, from

Now, it's hard to play chess without chess pieces, so to make his
present even better, I'm hoping to find some sort of pocket-sized
chess set. The only ones I've been able to find online are the
magnetic boards, which kind of defeat the purpose of the bandanna.
Ideally, something the size of a credit card or two, or would
otherwise fit inside a wallet, would be perfect; maybe even something
based on those new pop-open-and-assemble cards (ala that pirate CCG).
I've never seen a chess set *that* tiny, but I do have this set,
which is about the size of a checkbook, and thus can easily be
carried around in one's pocket:
