Two New York Chess Shops and a Match!

A photo from one of the chess shops in New York.


Hello Everybody!

Whenever chess lovers visit a new city, they always go looking for a chess shop! What if you were to find two nice chess shops – just a little distance away from each other in the same city? You would be delighted of course!

New York has two such stores – the Village Chess Shop and the Chess Forum – which are just yards away from each other on Thompson Street in Greenwich Village. But the owners of the shops are not ‘delighted’. You can read an interesting tale about their ‘match’ in The Wall Street Journal.
