Chess Products and Shopping

Chess can fit any budget. Unless you're a blindfold whiz, a board and pieces are the bare minimum. Add a clock for serious or blitz games, a few other accessories for tournament use, and you're ready for action. When you want to improve your game, buy a few books or software titles. Shop for equipment, books, software, and databases.
