I have a Grandmaster board but no pieces, does anyone know where I can buy pieces for this board?

Many thanks

Wow thanks, that was quick.

Price okay but I am in England, I might try getting a nice set of wooden pieces and adding some magnets, anyone know what type or strength of magnet, I don't want to damage the reed switched.

Many thanks

Neodymium N35 10mm x 1mm magnets should do and are very cheap on eBay.

If these do not work (which I think they will) then try N42.

Pulling together Regards
