I modified the Chess set to include 3x1mm embedded neodym magnets in the tiles as well as the chess pieces.
The magnets are pretty weak and dont hold the pices on the board when its flipped vertically as they are at a depth of 1mm inside both parts but they make sure the pieces are centred on the tiles and dont slide around when the set is moved.
I used a hole with a 3.2mm diameter and a depth of 1.2mm to house the magnets within the prints.
While the tiles have a magnet hole on the bottom, the chess pieces have to be paused after layer 11 (assuming a .2mm layer height) to insert the magnets.
I added the pause using Curas post processing feature withe function: "pause at height"
but i guess most slicers should have similar functions.
The attached files replace the tiles and chess pieces of the original. All other parts were left untouched.

Modifications were done in Sketchup
I added the cavity for the magnets by creating a cylinder the size of the magnet (including tolerances) and subtracting them from the original model using solid tools (boolean)
