The shop

What we stock, and why.

We are not a general chess store and we are not trying to become one. Breadth is the incumbents' advantage; judgment is ours. Everything here has to earn its place one of three ways.

The stocking rule
01

A club genuinely needs it to run a season.

02

The coach recommends it to fix a specific, diagnosed weakness.

03

We made it ourselves.

Nothing is stocked to fill out a category. The range stays narrow permanently — that is the brand, not a phase.
