About this site

After more than five decades as a chess player, and many years as a chess educator, administrator, and bookseller (as The Chess Set in Adelaide, South Australia), what began as a collection has become something of an avalanche. It is time to let much of it go.

Please browse the catalogue. Many items are offered at very modest prices, simply to see them find good homes. The antiquarian titles may be an exception, as a number of these were particularly hard to source.

What you’ll find here

• Chess books for sale (new, second-hand, and collectible)
• Learning resources
• South Australian chess history material
• Information on selected chess variants.

Happy browsing!
