It sounds like you had a bad experience seeing how you repeated the above statement in 4 threads. It would be helpful if you shared your experience with us. Let us know why should we avoid Chess Baron.

The plastic 4" king, 4lb set is nice. The plastic 3.75" king, 2.25lb set, not so much.

coolchesscanada.ca is closing down. Thirty percent off everything in stock (except sale and imperfect items), but the shelves look quite picked over already.

Thanks for the heads up. Some nice Rechapados Ferrer boards still in stock at 30% off. I haven't been keeping up on pricing. Anyone know the going rate for 50mm and 55mm square RF boards in (or shipped to) the US?

If a company can't stay in business selling chess equipment during the post QG era, there's something fundamentally wrong. Shelby, make them a close-out offer they can't refuse.

Don't forget CHESS4LESS https://www.chess4less.com/

They have a very comprehensive line of chess books and also carry a few chess sets. They are the American arm of Chess & Bridge from the UK. They usually have the new chess books 2 months before Amazon ever gets them in.
