These tournament chess boards are great for all occasions.  Since they are made from vinyl, mousepad, or silicone material they are easy to roll up and stick in your chess bag. 

1)  Vinyl is durable and the standard at most chess tournament events.  Pieces move VERY well on vinyl.  Stain and dirt resistant.  

2)  Mouse-pad boards: Cloth boards backed by mousepad materials. Great for portability and use with weighted sets. A nice upgrade in one's playing arsenal.  

3)  Silicone chess boards are made from food grade silicone material.  They generally have no memory, making them easy to throw in a bag, and still lay flat.
