A folder has separate front and back covers with imaginary fold lines between adjacent edges. The covers are apertured near their corners. An elastic tie band connects the front and back covers by interlacing sequentially through the apertures such that the folder opens by rotation of one cover relative to the other in either direction. The folding action causes the elastic tie band to surround inserted contents and hold them in place. The elastic tie band also facilitates removal of contents from the folder.

This invention consists of a flexible vinyl chess mat having two handles on opposite sides, both disposed in opposing positions to each other and centered on the perimeter of the square shaped chess mat, so that when the chess mat is folded in half, both handles line up with each other, making a doubled carrying handle. On one side of the chess mat a typical chess board is printed on the rubberized vinyl side. On the reverse side of the chess mat, when turned over, to expose the cloth backing side, a fastening means is positioned around the perimeter of the chess mat, and permanently attached, creating, when folded in half and fastened, an inside pocket area in which chess pieces and accessories may be carried and stored. The chess mat, when unfastened and emptied, and laid flat on a flat surface, is ready for chess play. The same mat can then be converted into a carrying case for convenient transportation and storage of chess pieces and accessories.
