The Grand Hand
Rathausstraße 19
In the historic center. Great stuff, new and old.
I’ll have to visit, we are planning a trip to Berlin perhaps next summer.Thanks for the info.

Wow! That’s too bad if true…. I wondered how such a wonderful niche shop could afford the rent at that location…. But perhaps he has moved?
The chess shop above isn't a proper chess shop - it concentrates on chess design: pieces and boards, among other games. There is a specialist chess shop in Charlottenburg with a large selection of chess books, magazines and a fair number of chess boards, clocks and pieces.
Sophie-Charlotten Straße 28, 14059 Berlin
The highlight for passersby is their daily PUZZLE - hanging in the window (on the left of the picture)
It seems that it has new name and new ownership - here is the website - it is called Chess Tigers now.

The inside of the store (from the photos on their web site) looks rather sterile and unwelcoming.
