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.

The Chess Forum is a wonderful place where it's not just about playing chess, but also about meeting people and getting together. Since I didn't have enough time that day, I was given a chess set. It was excellent for a game in Central Park.

I went last Sunday. I went with my daughter and husband. I have known the place for years and always take a delight at the different chess boards and pieces. What would ask and I know would help a lot is to please clean the dust off the boards. The boards are so nice but they are filled with dust and it does not help. Thanks!

This place is awesome. About 8-10 playing tables, awesome chess sets for sale. My 9 y/o got a few games in with a few kids and left with a good book to up his game. He felt like Norm at Cheers. DC needs a spot like this!

Beautiful little shop and the owners were able to find everything I needed instantly - a simple board mat, pieces and a clock. They also have tables set up where you can play and even coffee and more. The ambience is really nice and I will definitely be back to play.

Happened to walk by and found this place really interesting! The front is a shop that sells very diverse and special chess sets, some historic, some architectural, and some funny pop-culture ones. It looks like there's a chess club in the back of the store, but I didn't venture in. It was pretty crowded when I stopped by on Saturday, maybe there was some sort of club activity going on. This place has a lot of potential, Great spot for chess lovers!
