Profile

This little shop encourages everyone—beginners and grandmasters alike—to practice their chess skills: A table rents for $2 per person per hour. Stock is focused on basic equipment for devotees, like the Aradora tournament clock, but there are also specialized offerings: Lord of the Rings–themed sets start at $60.
