Chess Gift Ideas

December 20, 2017 by Carolyn

If you’re looking for that last minute gift or stocking stuffer, we’ve got some ideas for you – Chess Gift Ideas.

Chessmates Christmas Wish List

Have a young chess player in your life you don’t know what to get? Here are some different options for all different chess players:
For the tournament chess player nothing is better than a nice wooden chess set. Finding the right one is difficult, we recommend American Staunton Chess Pieces.

For the speed chess player in your life, Coach Zach has tested and given his approval of the Advanced Digital Game Timer with Bonus & Delay Clock.
For the player just getting in to chess and wants to have fun, here is a great colored set of pieces.
For the books worms we have a variety of books we like.
How to Beat your Dad at Chess
Complete book of chess strategy – Jeremy Silman
Silmans endgame course – Jeremy Silman
Chess training pocket book – Lev Alburt
The most instructive games of all time – Averbakh
My system (more advanced) Nimzowitsch
My memorable 60 games –Bobby Fischer
Need more? How about Private Lessons?
Happy Holidays!
