A little more information about the chess sets... 

Each of the sets include 32 pieces, with the exception of the Tournament Range, which comes with an extra queen in each colour. All sets are supplied in card 

boxes. The white pieces are made of boxwood unless otherwise stated. As natural materials vary in shade and grain, the set you receive may differ slightly in appearance. 

Ebony is a mature, robust wood which is black in colour. Striped Ebony has flecks of rich brown graining showing through the Ebony black. Rosewood is a 

reddish brown wood, with a pronounced grain. Sheesham is a very natural coloured wood, medium brown with some graining, although not as pronounced as 

Rosewood. Antiqued Brown or Black indicates that the pieces are made of boxwood, with the black chessmen being stained to achieve the desired effect.

LONDON CHESS CENTRE 

CHAMPIONSHIP STAUNTON * £500 

Limited Edition 

Designed by the London Chess Centre, in cooperation with some of the finest craftsmen, to commemorate the World 

Chess Championships in London 2000. 

Beautifully hand carved from top quality Ebony and Boxwood. We believe it to be the highest quality 

Staunton pattern set. The pieces are triple weighted. The king measures 4 inches (115mm) with a 

base diameter of 1.75 inches (45mm). Each set requires over 100 hours of expert craftmanship, and 

there is an attention to detail which is unrivalled. For example: the teeth on the knight are carved out, 

the queen’s crown is exquisitely carved producing an angular effect, and the bishop’s mitre is deeply 

cut into the piece. 

The Treasure Chest box (r.r.p. £49.99) is made of solid Sheesham brown wood, with brass hinges 

and embellishments and comes free with the set. 

This set will become a collector’s item to be 

treasured for years to come. 

LONDON CHESS CENTRE EBONY TOWER SET £275 

The pieces are triple weighted with felted bases, the king height being 4 inches with the other pieces to scale. 

The design is based on that developed by the English world champion Howard Staunton over 150 years ago. 

The black pieces are made from the highest quality ebony, while the white pieces are in boxwood. The pieces 

have broad, bevelled bases. The box is our very own London Chess Centre branded leather box, with a green 

felt lining, and comes free with this set (r.r.p of the box £49.99)

King Richard Brass Chess Set £199.95 

Finding a satisfactory metal chess set is always a challenge, and with this and the 

Boethia sets shown on page 11, we are now spoilt for choice. This super-heavyweight 

brass chess set is as impressive as they come. The king is 4” high, with the 

levels of craftsmanship on the set being as good as many of our high range wooden 

sets. The colours are easy to distinguish from each other, and over years the 

brass will take on a new appearance simply through it’s exposure to natural conditions. 

Sure to make a fantastic show piece or simply an amazing set to play with. 

The London Chess Centre 

Recommends... 

Both of these sets would look fantastic on our Teak 

and Maple Superior 5 Board. The King Richard set 

should sit on a 55mm square, which is available in 

this board for £49.95. The Arabian Set, being a 

more slender set, would be ideally complimented by 

the 50mm square Teak and Maple board, which 

retails at £44.95. Details on all of our boards can be 

found on page 4.

A set with a difference. One of the most unusual materials to be used in chess 

sets, camelbone provides a unique chess set every time. The level of workmanship 

is apparent on every piece; from the delicate details on the knights to the 

flowery embellishments on each and every piece. Despite its dainty appearance, 

the camelbone material is in fact very durable, meaning this is a set to both

silver and pewter chess sets from Boethia 

Boethia 

Chess Sets 

Corinthian Chess Set 

The Corinthian Order of architecture first came to prominence 

circa 400 BC and became prevalent thereafter throughout the 

Grecian and then Roman world. The style has lent itself to creating 

an aesthetically beautiful set, whilst maintaining the practical 

definition of each piece, characterised by its strong linear features 

and angular segmentation. 

Made from either solid sterling silver or solid antimony pewter, 

the set is made of 34 individually hand cast chessmen, with 

each piece hand etched & worked to further enhance the 

detailing. The king stands at 2 ½ inches. Recommended board: 

35mm squares - see below. 

Pewter Corinthian Chess Set £699 - includes box 

Silver Corinthian Chess Set £3500 - includes box 

Glen Mor Chess Set 

Nestled within the Grampian Mountain range in Scotland, Glen 

Mor remains a place of hidden and unspoilt beauty. With its lush 

valleys and loch it is a place that captures an atmosphere that is 

undeniably Celtic. It is this Celtic nature that is very much the 

inspiration for the Glen Mor pieces. 

It is this diversity that Boethia have sought to capture in the set 

under the unifying Celtic banner; each piece carries a subtly different 

style, such as the runic symbolism on the Bishop, the angular 

architecture of the King, and the organic leafing on the pawn. 

The king stands at 3 ½ inches. Recommended board: 40mm 

squares - see below. 

Pewter Glen Mor Chess Set £999 - includes box 

Silver Glen Mor Chess Set £6500 - includes box 

Tudor Chess Set 

The Tudor period in England brought about an unusual evolution 

of design that so often fused very robust forms with 

intricate elements to create something distinctive and iconic. 

Our Tudor chessmen have been inspired by the style of the 

period, from its architecture to its jewellery. The pieces maintain 

a simplicity in their form and are each adorned with roses, 

symbolic of the era. 

Each set, made from either solid sterling silver or solid antimony 

pewter, has 34 individually hand cast chessmen, with each 

piece hand etched & worked to further enhance the detailing. 

The king stands at 3 inches. Recommended board: 40mm 

squares - see below.

Safari Chess Set 

This Safari set is inspired by African wildlife, with the Lion, 

Lioness, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant & Monkey. Around the base of 

each piece, different jungle and savannah detail has been carved in. 

The piece type has also been etched on, to allow for the recognition 

of each piece. The king stands at 2 ½ inches. Recommended 

board: 35mm squares.

their ‘chess personality’. Below is a summary of each of the program’s ‘character traits’, which should allow you to choose the program you feel suits you best.

Meet Meet the family... family... 

Hiarcs 9 (CD) £39.95 

Scoring a solid 2:2 draw against super-GM 

Evgeny Bareev, Hiarcs has definitely reestablished 

itself as one of the world's best 

chess programs. In the years of developing 

Hiarcs its author, Mark Uniacke, has successfully 

focussed on the implementation 

of a maximum of chess knowledge and 

positional considerations, setting it’s style 

of calculation apart from it’s counterparts. 

Junior 9 (CD) £39.95 

The special strength of Junior is its understanding 

of compensation. This makes the 

program an extraordinarily effective tool 

for analysing sharp and dynamic positions, 

especially those involving the sacrifice of 

material. It is the program that is most likely 

to correctly understand the compensation 

involved, both in the execution of a 

sacrifice and the defence against it. 

N L FRITZ SENSORY BOARD £349.95 L N 

The DGT Fritz sensory board gives you the opportunity to play the 

friendliest program, in the friendliest way, with a real chess board 

and pieces. Enjoy your games by making moves on the board and 

letting Fritz call out its replies. You don’t even have to look at the 

computer screen. Also ideal for analysis and for inputting games. A 

truly unique playing experience!

Pocket Fritz 2 - for pocket PCs £39.95 

Shredder 9 (CD) £39.95 

For computer chess experts Shredder is 

the number one choice. Winner of the 

World Computer Championships seven 

times, Shredder is one of the strongest 

commercial programs available. In comparison 

to other programs, Shredder is 

positionally very sophisticated, spotting 

some ‘quiet moves’ which other programs 

may take longer to consider.

The battle for the World Chess Championship has witnessed numerous titanic struggles which have engaged the interest not only 

of chess enthusiasts but also of the public at large. The chessboard is the ultimate mental battleground and the world 

champions themselves are supreme intellectual gladiators. These magnificent compilations of play from the early days of chess 

form the basis of the first first parts of Garry Kasparov's definitive history of the World Chess Championship. 

Part One features the play of champions Wilhelm Steinitz, Emanuel Lasker, Jose Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine. 

Part Two features the play of champions Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov and Mikhail Tal. 

Part Three looks at the reigns of Tigran Petrosian and Boris Spassky, as well as examining their chief rivals. 

Part Four is possibly the most anticipated chess book of all time: Garry Kasparov on Bobby Fischer. 

Part Five catalogues the "post-Fischer" period in the 1970's and early 1980's This period was dominated by Anatoly Karpov 

(world champion from 1975-1985) and his three-time challenger, Viktor Korchnoi. 

In this book, a must for all serious chessplayers, Kasparov analyses deeply Karpov's greatest games and assesses the legacy of this 

great Russian genius. Also under the microscope are the games of Viktor Korchnoi, who was at his peak during this period. 

Kasparov's biographies place them in a fascinating historical and political context. Kasparov explains how each champion 

brought his own distinctive style to the chessboard and enriched the theory of the game with new ideas.

The Best of 2005 

My Great Predecessors 

Part 4 - Kasparov £25 

This book brings together the 

two greatest names in the history 

of chess. The author, 

Garry Kasparov, is the world 

number one and, by common 

consent, the greatest player 

ever. The subject of the book, 

Bobby Fischer, is the only 

American to have become 

world champion and is probably 

the greatest natural talent 

the world has ever seen. 

Najdorf: Life and Games 

Lissowski, Mikhailchishin 

and Najdorf £14.99 

Miguel Najdorf has been 

described as a flamboyant poet 

of the chessboard whose career 

spanned six decades. He won 

many International tournaments 

although never played for the 

World Championship. This is an 

informed biography complemented 

by one hundred selected 

games that demonstrate his originality 

and brilliance. 

Experts vs. The Sicilian. 

ed. by Aagaard & Shaw 

£15.99 

In this book a multinational 

line-up of leading experts give 

recommendations against their 

own pets lines. The line-up of 

writers is impressive: Peter 

Heine-Nielsen, Peter Wells, 

Thomas Luther and Jacob 

Aagaard are amongst a team of 

writers who write both intelligently 

and thoroughly on an 

otherwise intimidating subject. 

The Tips for 2006 

Fritz 9 (CD ROM) £36.99 

The best just got better. For the 

last decade Fritz has been the leading 

chess software package, with 

over 100,000 copies being sold 

worldwide. The new edition 

incorporates sleek graphics, 

increased playing strength, a larger 

database...in fact, it became 

stronger in all fields. More details 

can be found on page 26, but suffice 

to say, everyone at the 

London Chess Centre is delighted 

with it! 

Chess Bitch - Shahade 

£19.99 

Written by the 2004 U.S. 

Women’s champion, Chess 

Bitch is an eye opening account 

of how today’s young female 

chessplayers are successfully 

knocking down the doors to a 

traditionally male dominated 

game. Through interviews and 

observations, Shahade paints a 

colourful world that most chess 

fans didn’t know existed. 

best of 2005 and coming soon 

2005 was another busy year for chess publishing. Here we showcase some of the best books to come 

out in the previous year, as well as give you a glimpse of the titles we are looking forward to in 2006. 

Curacao 1962 - Timman 

£17.99 

In Curaçao 1962 Jan Timman 

returns to the 1962 Candidates 

Tournament featuring Fischer, 

Petrosian, Tal, Kortchnoi and 

many other giants who battled it 

out to earn the right to challenge 

world champion Botvinnik. 

Timman takes a fresh look at 

the games, annotates the most 

important ones (including 16 of 

Fischer's!) and describes the 

course of the tournament. 

Breaking Through 

Polgar £20 

Susan Polgar provides a candid 

inside view of the lives of the 

Polgar sisters, each with their 

own goals and aspirations. She 

takes readers through the incredible 

development of the three 

sisters as they pursued their 

dreams: becoming chess prodigies, 

growing into contenders, 

winning World titles and 

Olympiad gold medals. 

Opening for White according 

to Anand Vol. 4 £15.99 

This eagerly awaited 4th volume 

covers Khalifman’s recommendations 

against the Pirc and 

Modern Defences, as well as the 

slightly more offbeat Czech system. 

The repertoire is based 

around the critical Austrian 

Attack with 4.f4, where precise 

knowledge of variations is 

essential. This is the main reason 

why the book runs into an 

incredible 400 pages! 

My Great Predecessors 

Part 5 - Kasparov £25 

In this book, a must for all serious 

chess players Kasparov analyzes 

deeply his great adversary 

Anatoly Karpov's greatest games 

and assesses the legacy of this 

great Russian genius. Also under 

the microscope are the games of 

Viktor Korchnoi who was at his 

peak during this period and twice 

challenged Karpov for his world 

title. 

The Day Kasparov Quit 

ten Geuzendam £TBA 

March 11th, 2005. The world’s 

number 1 rated player retired from 

international chess, leaving a void 

at the top which many are now 

fighting to fill. What caused Garry 

to walk away from chess? 

This collection of interviews written 

by the New in Chess editor are 

sure to be captivating in both their 

content and insight into one of 

chess’ most significant retirements. 

? 

Play the Sicilian Dragon 

Dearing £17.99 

The Dragon is one of the key 

battlegrounds of modern chess,

chess-players of all standards. In 

the Dragon, many Sicilian 

themes are seen in their clearest 

form, with the ...Rxc3 exchange

In this in-depth work from the 

young IM Edward Dearing, the 

multitude of possibilities are 

examined with verve and vigour. 

Chess for Tigers 

Webb £15.99 

Do you want to win more 

games? Chess for Tigers tells you 

how to make the most of your 

playing strength, how to play 

upon your opponents weaknesses, 

how to steer the game into a 

position which suits you and not 

your opponent, how to get results 

against strong opposition and 

how to avoid silly mistakes. Full of 

common-sense advice, this book 

is an acknowledged chess classic.

Explained - Alburt £19.99 

A complete repertoire of opening 

play-as well as a review of all 

openings and an explanation of 

the principles of playing this crucial 

stage of the game. While the 

books concentrate on the first 20 

moves or so of a game, they

Chess for Zebras 

Rowson £17.99 

In a strikingly original work, 

Rowson makes use of his academic 

background in philosophy and 

psychology in an entertaining and 

instructive way. This book assists all 

players in their efforts to improve, 

and provides fresh insights into the 

opening and early middlegame. 

Rowson presents many new ideas 

on how Black should best combat 

White's early initiative, and make 

use of the information that he 

gains as a result of moving second.
