And from time to time there will be special opportunities where you can save even more than 25%.

For the collector that looks for the rare and unique, The Chess Store will be offering to members only, several new and unique chess sets every year. These chess sets will be produced in very small quantities and will never be offered openly on our web site. These chess sets will be offered to members on a first come, first served bases.
