Chess Sets For Sale, Update

If you'd like a chess set like the ones we use at club, with a nicer  carrying case with handles and a sleeve for the board, let me know. Cost is $10 which is at least $22 less that you can get one anywhere else! (I got a discount for being a regular purchaser, another discount for ordering bulk, and we all share the shipping costs.)

I ordered only Black this time. Click here for a

Need a Chess Set?

I'll be ordering sets soon like the ones we use at school. Pieces board and carrying case for $15 or less depending on how many orders I get. I hope to get them for $12 if I get 10 orders from all my schools.
Let me know what color board and case (black, green, blue, dark red) Here's a link so you can see what you're getting.
