10/01/2012 - Thanks for Getting Here


Perhaps the recession has kept more people indoors on an evening and if there is any truth in this it may have prompted an explosion in the popularity of indoor games as the 4th quarter of 2011 saw a 40% increase in Chessmove sales particularly within the chess table and elm board range. A thank you to our valued customers is appropriate at this time.

I can't help mention our most strange order when a gentleman on holiday had seen a chess set he liked in Russia but had lost detail of where to get it. He then visited the Great Wall of China on his tour. Some feature on the wall prompted him to mention the set to an acquaintance he met from America who thought it sounded like designs that would be found on Italian sets and our gentleman was given the name of our counterpart in America who stocks the range. On return from holiday he contacted the American company who ethically referred him back to our Italian parent who in turn directed him to ourselves in the U.K. Our gentleman lives 1 mile away from us.

Well if your reading this you probably have not taken as much trouble as our gentleman to find us but thanks for getting here anyway and we hope we can be of service.


January 2012 - Happy New Year


As always Chessmove Ltd would like to thank its valued customers for their exceptional support both at wholesale and direct sale level. After the success of the Milan exhibition we are now preparing to launch additional products including Chess Sets, Chess Boards and Chess Pieces to the U.K. market which gives us something to look forward to during 2012.

Our strength as always has lay in presenting top of the range exclusive chess products of Italian design and our specialisation and exclusivity with this will be cemented during the coming year.

A Prosperous New Year to everyone
