The Chess Store: Staunton sets, travel boards and clocks in the Fall Sale

Shopping at The Chess Store? See all current The Chess Store discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

The Chess Store is a US specialist that sells nothing but chess. Its range runs from roll-up club sets that survive a school bag to weighted wooden Staunton pieces on burl boards, plus clocks, piece boxes and chess computers. It suits tournament players who want regulation equipment, parents kitting out a school club, and anyone looking for a gift that will sit on a coffee table for years.

You can shop by chess sets, pieces, boards, clocks and club and school supplies, and there are themed ranges such as The Queen's Gambit Collection and Italfama, made in Italy.
