DESIGN STORY

Where Football Meets Chess

Few games demand strategy, patience and vision quite like football and chess.

Created together with Eintracht Frankfurt, this officially licensed collector's edition celebrates the shared values of intelligent play, precision and passion.

The elegant black leather is complemented by distinctive red contrast stitching and official Eintracht Frankfurt branding, creating a timeless collector's piece that represents one of Germany's most iconic football clubs.

Whether displayed at home, enjoyed on matchdays or taken on travels, the SGE Edition unites two worlds built on strategy.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Official Club Design. MELIA Craftsmanship.

Every SGE Edition is handcrafted in Europe using premium full-grain floater leather.

Our signature magnetic system keeps every chess piece securely in place while preserving the natural movement of traditional wooden chess.

Exclusive club details—including the official Eintracht Frankfurt branding and distinctive red accent stitching—make this edition immediately recognisable while maintaining the understated elegance of MELIA.

Engineered Magnetism - Designed to Feel Like Real Chess

Every magnet has been precisely calibrated to create the perfect balance between stability and playability — an engineering detail that is immediately felt with every move.

Unlike conventional magnetic chess sets that rely on maximum holding force, MELIA's magnetic system is intentionally engineered to keep every piece securely in place while preserving the effortless movement of a traditional wooden chess set.

The magnets disappear the moment the game begins — exactly as they should.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official Eintracht Frankfurt product?

Yes. This chess set is an officially licensed collaboration between Eintracht Frankfurt and MELIA Games.

What makes the SGE Edition different?

The SGE Edition features exclusive Eintracht Frankfurt branding, signature red contrast stitching and official licensed design details while retaining MELIA's handcrafted magnetic leather construction.

Are the chess pieces magnetic?

Yes. Every PU lacquered wooden chess piece contains an integrated magnet that securely attaches to the board. This allows comfortable play while travelling, aboard boats, on trains or on any uneven surface without compromising the elegance of a traditional wooden chess set.

Why aren't the magnets stronger?

The magnets have been intentionally calibrated to achieve the ideal balance between stability and playability. Stronger magnets can cause pieces to stick together or lift the leather board during play. MELIA magnets are engineered to keep every piece securely in position while preserving the smooth, natural feel of traditional chess.

Where is the chess set made?

Every MELIA chess set is handcrafted in Europe by experienced leather artisans. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create products designed to last for generations.

What leather is used?

The SGE Chess is crafted from premium black full-grain floater leather from LWG Gold Certified European tanneries. Its distinctive pebbled grain creates a luxurious texture and complements the exclusive gold and black colourway.

Can I personalise my chess set?

Yes. Your MELIA Chess can be personalised with initials, names, dates, messages or company logos using our precision laser engraving service.

Due to the black leather finish, engraving is available on the light leather squares where it creates the highest contrast and the most elegant result.

Simply select your preferred laser engraving option before purchasing and enter your engraving request in the "Order special instructions" field during checkout.

Is the chess set suitable for travel?

Absolutely.

The roll-up design was specifically developed for travelling. The flexible leather board rolls into its integrated carrying case within seconds, while the magnetic chess pieces remain securely stored and ready to play wherever you go.

Is this a full-size chess set?

The playing surface measures 38 × 30 cm (15 × 11.8 in) with 3.5 cm (1.38 in) squares, providing a comfortable playing experience while remaining compact enough for travel.

Rolled dimensions are approximately 30 × 7 cm (11.8 × 2.8 in).

What is included?

Every Roll-Up Magnetic Leather Chess Set includes:

• Roll-Up Magnetic Leather Chess Set
• 32 PU handlacquered magnetic wooden chess pieces
• Integrated leather storage roll
• Premium cotton storage bag
• Luxury MELIA gift box

Is this suitable as a gift for Eintracht Frankfurt supporters?

Absolutely. Each set is presented in a premium gift box and combines official club identity with handcrafted European luxury craftsmanship.

How do I care for the leather?

Store your chess set in a dry environment away from prolonged direct sunlight.

Occasionally treat the leather with a high-quality leather care product to preserve its natural appearance and allow it to develop its characteristic patina over time.

Does the product come with a warranty?
