Chess Forum

Had such a fun time. We played back gammon. A lot of people inside but still enjoyable and the music was very low so it was very easy to have a conversation. Everyone seemed very sweet and definitely recommending it, especially when it’s drizzly weather, because it’s cozy.

My sister surprised my son and took him here as he loves chess! This place was so unique and he was able to play games of chess (regular and speed) against other players. I love that places like this still exist. My son said it was one of best experiences of his life!

Three words can summarize this place, kindness kindness and kindness It was such a wonderful experience visiting here. My son, Gabriel, had a lovely time in the cozy and warm atmosphere. He enjoyed it so much that we visited three days in a row during our trip to NY. I hope we have the opportunity to visit again soon.

It's wonderful place♡ My kid loves chess, so I visited him twice during my trip to New York The owner is very kind and warm Thank you so much for allowing me to increase my child's interest in chess :)

2nd time here. Shopkeeper has always been nice and its cool that the shop provides chess boards and a few clocks for people to play games. Only problem is its kinda dirty, but thats probably b/c people can bring outside food and drinks.

What a great visit! The owner was the nicest host. If you love chess, please take time to visit this establishment. One of the highlights of my trip to NY!

Visited bc this place is famous for all things chess. The owner and staff are very friendly. My nephew loved playing chess with the ppl coming in and out. It’s really like family. Love the history of this place. My nephew wants to go to NYU so that he can play chess here every day lol. We went two days in a row and we are going for another two days in a row again. My nephew LOVES this place. His mom bought him the Fischer chess pieces. It’s exquisite! Bought the mini chess set and practice set too. His chess collection got bigger and better!

Really special place tucked away in the village. Cozy and artistic atmosphere that tells you you're getting the real deal. You can walk in and people will be willing to play with you or teach you if you're a beginner. Got a bit rowdy, but if you're passionate about chess, this is THE place.
