Check out the huge variety of chess sets ! So beautiful. My favorites are the Egyptian ones.

Shalimar

Very cool spot with literature, equipment and all types of chess , checkers and backgammon boards. You can also mix and boards and pieces for a custom set. Highly recommended!

Berk Kapicioglu

A decades old chess store that was originally owned by a Russian grandmaster. Great for hanging out with chess enthusiasts, buying chess pieces, or learning how to play from world-class players .

Margot Mazur

You can bargain with the guys. The stuff in the window is their priciest and most awesome, but they have behind the scenes cheaper boards as well .

Julia Freidly

There are quality books and BEAUTIFUL chess sets . It's a nice, quiet place to sit and play

Anders Drage

$5 per person buys you an hour of chess . Game on when the weather turns.

Play Eric. Older guy. He doesn't play book openings, has never played tournaments, but is probably a solid 1800+ blitz player .

Anastasia Maroulis

Cooler than a speak easy

Alan Cordova

Definitely worth checking out for its old-school charm and rivalry with the other chess establishments on Thompson Street. Read more

Make sure to ask how much a chess set costs, they are all or sale!

Hola a todos. El ajedrez es un juego de mesa genial, pero también me gustan mucho los juegos de computadora. Encuentro juegos interesantes en https://roms-descargar.com/roms/nintendo-64.
