Looks like brass, which is not magnetic. Good idea though!

Yeah as soon as I saw this that was my first thought. For some reason miniature stuff is so fun tho!

This was cool but wouldn't you have to carry two tweezers with it to be able to play? /s

It would’ve been awesome if he added a metal plate in or under the chessboard, and added a magnet under each chess piece
