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 of all sets are made from boxwood. 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. We also stock a range of boxes to store your pieces in - see page 7.

ENGLISH CHESS COMPANY© CHESSMEN

award-winning craftsmen. 

- All chessmen come with leather bases as standard. The 

King’s leather base bears the mark of the English Chess 

Company in gold-coloured lettering.

COMBATANT STAUNTON CHESSMEN 

registration number 293228 

The craftsmen have combined traditional and 

contemporary elements into a unique and beautiful set. 

The knight’s mane and head collar are the most 

stunning features, intricately hand carved while the 

other pieces have a more rounded edge. £ 299 


These exquisite chessmen are hand carved by master 

artisans and crafted out of the highest grade Bud 

Rosewood and Boxwood. The design is based on one 

that was popular in the late 19th century. The pieces, 

especially the Knight, have a sleek, stylish look and a 

comfortable feel. £ 299 


ELITE STAUNTON CHESSMEN 


A luxury wooden set hand carved to the highest 

standards. Note the intricate design of the King’s crown 

and the exquisite Knight’s head and mane. The carving of 

all the major pieces is astonishingly detailed, for example 

the Bishop’s mitre is deep set and the Queen’s coronet 

finely carved to produce an angular effect. £ 299 


IMPERIAL STAUNTON CHESSMEN 


A truly majestic set. The Knight has a unique design 

with downward sloping head, weaved mane, flared 

nostrils and icy stare make it the most spectacular 

chess piece in the English Chess Company collection. 

The other pieces are also beautifully sculpted with 

distinctive bands below the summit. £ 299 


ANTIQUED WARRIOR CHESSMEN 


The term "Antiqued" describes the process applied to the 

boxwood pieces resulting in the appearance of an aged 

set, preferred by many collectors and serious chess players 

alike. There is something about the patina of the set that 

is most appealing to the eye. The dark pieces are 

constructed using only the finest jet black Ebony. £ 399

intelligent. The demeanour and history 

of the Camargue horses are a worthy 

inspiration for what is essentially a 

military game. 

The Knight is thus a reflection of the 

Camargue breed itself. The other pieces are evocative of the medieval architecture of the ancient town of Aigue- 

Mortes in the Camargue region of southern France, the area after which the horse is named and where they are 

exclusively reared. 

Corinthian Chessmen and Mahogany Box £899 

Camargue Chessmen and Chess Board Casket £999 

The inspiration for these chessmen came from the various architectural forms associated with the 

Corinthian order, which came to prominence around 400BC, and was the last of the classical orders to 

come out of the Grecian world. It was thereafter adopted throughout the Roman world, and several 

examples from this period exist today, such as the Pantheon in Rome and the Roman temple of Olympian 

Zeus, in Athens. 

Indeed today, elements of Corinthian design, as well as from the preceding Doric and Ionic orders, find 

its way into modern structures. The style lends itself superbly to creating an aesthetically pleasing set, 

whilst maintaining the practical definition of each piece, characterised by its strong linear features and 

angular segmentation. 

Nouveau Chessmen and Mahogany Box £899 

Camargue Chessmen, Chess board and Casket £999 

Disparate artists, designers and craftsman shaped the Art Nouveau period at the turn of the 20th century, dictating a new design rationale, rather than 

reworking the designs of the past. Diversity is a key attribute of the Nouveau period, a coalescence of ideas drawn from a wide and varied array of people 

which resulted in a spectrum of startlingly different design elements. It encompassed the organically inspired Lalique, Gallé, and Tiffany, and also the 

geometric styles of Hoffman, Stickley, and Mackintosh. 

It is from this wealth of design diversity that Boethia have formed the Nouveau Chessmen, collating elements such as the organic leafing, the sinuous 

geometric & non-geometric lines as well as linear architectural forms. All of which one can trace to various influences from the period. The resultant fusion 

had lead to this unique cadre of chess pieces.

16 Chess Clocks 

Traditional Chess Clocks 

Analogue clocks are the traditional method used to time chess matches 

and have remained more or less unchanged since their introduction 

over 120 years ago. With their combination of simplicity, accuracy and 

old-world charm it is easy to see why they remain popular with chess 

players around the globe. Batteries are not needed as all analogue 

timers are powered by a simple wind-up mechanism but be careful not 

to overwind them! Pressing the button down on your side stops your 

clock and starts that of your opponent. A flag will fall at the exact 

moment a player’s time has expired. However, they are less accurate 

than digital timers and are unable to implement advanced time 

controls such as increment and time delay. 

GARDE CLOCK 

£59.95 each £50 each if 6+ 

This is the finest analogue chess clock 

available. Its robust casing and reliable 

German mechanism have such a good 

reputation that it was used in the Kasparov 

- Short World Championship match in 

1993. Dimensions: 22 x 12 x 6cm 

Digital Chess Clocks 

If accuracy is what you need then look no further than our broad range of Digital Chess 

Timers. All our digital clocks are accurate to within a second per hour and with the most 

extensive selection in the UK we’re sure to have something to suit you. Digital chess clocks 

have the advantage over the traditional analogue clock as they are able to handle a wider range of time controls such as as time delay and increment. 

Digital clocks are perfect for serious matches at clubs and tournaments or for the casual game at home. However, they really show their worth in blitz 

games and time-scrambles, where knowing exactly how much time you have remaining can make all the difference! 

As they don’t function on a wind-up system like analogue clocks they need batteries, although a set of 2 AA batteries can last an incredible eight years (based 

on a usage of 4 hours per week). The LED displays are bright and easy to see and the clocks are made in a sleek, modern style. Each type of digital timer has its 

own unique range of features which make them versatile and extremely popular. 

GARDE DIGITAL CLOCK 

£89.95 each £79.95 each if 6+ 

Solid, wooden framed digital chess clock by 

the best name in the business. The LCD 

display is the largest of any clock on the 

market, making it popular with spectators 

and arbiters alike. To improve visibility for 

the players the angle of the display is tilted 

back 10 degrees. The clock is supplied ready 

for use with batteries which allow up to 

2,000 hours of playing time. It has a low 

battery warning, 'game end' display, a 

buzzer and a move counter. Dimensions: 22 

x 12 x 6cm.

Garry Kasparov: My Story 

Presented by GM Garry Kasparov & GM James Plaskett 

Part One: Teenage Prodigy (104 mins) £24.95 

By the age of 12 Garry was the Junior Champion of the mighty USSR, the youngest 

ever. Back then fashion bowed to the immaculate safety-first style of the reigning 

titan Anatoly Karpov. Along came young Kasparov, raging onto the scene and 

riding some new contraption called glasnost. His style - brash, energetic and 

aggressive took the chess world by storm and reinvented the standard for future 

generations of chess players. 

Part Two: Joining the Elite (113 mins) £24.95 

If one element characterised the games of teenage Garry Kasparov, it was the 

whirlwind aggression of his play. By 1981, though still a tender 18 years of age, his 

ferocious talent demanded that he clear ever-higher hurdles. Now it was time to 

take on the grown-ups, and for him this meant one thing - the world elite. 

Part Three: Rebels and Renegades (86 mins) £24.95 

A close look at Garry Kasparov's career reveals a remarkable amount of sheer 

brinkmanship. At a time when the Soviet Union was wired with paranoia and run 

by invisible connections, the winds of political change were beginning to stir and 

the brash renegade Kasparov would be in the right place at the right time to 

capitalize on the new climate. 

Part Four: Hitting the Wall (110 mins) £24.95 

The shadows of political intrigue would threaten to do what no chess player could 

manage - to eliminate Garry from the hunt for the World Title. And when the long 

awaited confrontation between Karpov and Kasparov arrived, it turned out to be 

the most remarkable and controversial match ever played. 

Part Five: Rite of Passage (89 mins) £24.95 

On the eve of the most important game he would ever play, Garry Kasparov sought 

the advice of legends Botvinnik and Tal. If Kasparov succeeded, he would take Tal's 

place as the youngest World Champion in history. Was this another one of Garry's 

magic numbers?

FRITZ 12 (PC-DVD) £40! (RRP £44.95) 

Chess Software (PC) 

The new Fritz 12 is now even stronger and faster than before, whilst retaining the 

same cool features – plus many enhancements – that have made it the most 

sought-after chess software for players of all strengths and abilities. 

Whether you are a beginner, club player or professional – Fritz has everything you could 

want including: automatically adjusting playing strength, coaching functions, 

explanation of positions, game analysis and a database of well over 1.5 million games. 

Used by the world’s greatest players, including Garry Kasparov, the completely 

redesigned Fritz interface gives you instant access to all the most important functions. 

This means more comfort and clearer controls. Never before has it been so easy and 

fast to play with Fritz. 

Fritz prepares you for serious encounters over the chessboard. Have you ever trained with a human grandmaster? Fritz provides you with 

twelve hours of video lessons for every level of play (see pages 30 and 31 for details of the Fritz Media System). Enjoy the 

instructive analysis of master games, discussion of clever openings traps, and deadly combinations for you to solve. If you 

haven’t yet learned the rules – Fritz will have you playing your first game within an hour. 

There are also totally new instruments to measure the sharpness of a position and a mate-o-meter. How can the 

character of a position be evaluated? Is there perhaps an unsuspected mating motif lurking somewhere deep in the 

thicket of variations? Fritz 12 takes on the tasks of measuring all this and shows you every possible angle in absolutely 

clear fashion. At the same time the playing strength of the Fritz engine has been increased and the openings book 

re-edited. Many well-known functions have been further enhanced. Rated games now lead to a more precise and 

realistic rating. The ‘Spy‘ points out clear refutations and concentrates on strong unambiguious threats. Those with high 

specification machines will be glad to see improved engine management. 64-bit UCI engines can also now use more 

than 4GB RAM. 

A Short Overview of Fritz 12: 

- Completely redesigned interface 

- New gauges indicating move accuracy, mate threat and tactics 

- New Spy and Analysis functions 

- New possibilities on Playchess 

- Twelve hours of video training 

- An up-to-date openings book and database with over 1.5 million games 

- One year subscription to Playchess. 

Not only do you receive a year’s subscription to playchess.com but now all memberships have been upgraded to Premium 

status. Now you can tune in to TV and Radio ChessBase, play thousands of opponents on the 

world’s biggest chess server, listen to live audio commentary of GM tournaments and get 

training sessions from experienced coaches like GM Yasser Seirawan. There are also 

RYBKA 3 (PC-DVD) £44.95 

opportunities to play in simultaneous exhibitions against top GMs and compete in league 

tournaments. 

System Requirements for Fritz 12: What will you need to run Fritz 12? According to 

Chessbase the minimum is: Pentium III 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows Vista, or XP (with 

Service Pack 3 installed), DVD-ROM drive The recommended set-up is: PC Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 

GHz, 3 GB RAM, Windows Vista or Windows 7, DVD-ROM drive. 

Rybka 3 is the world’s strongest chess program having won the 2008 World Computer 

Championship and leading all ranking lists by over 100 elo points, but strength is not 

everything! Today the main use of chess software is analysis and Rybka’s analysis features 

coupled with its awesome playing strength make it the number one choice for the serious 

chess player. Using an earlier version of the Fritz interface Rybka introduces several 

ground-breaking new analysis features: 

Monte Carlo Analysis yields precise evaluations by playing thousands of ultra-fast games 

in a few minutes from any given position. This is much like using game result statistics, 

something human players do when choosing their opening variations. Monte Carlo 

Analysis can be used in any position, but generally it's most useful in endgames and 

positions with sacrificial possibilities. Engines often give high scores to drawn endgames, Monte Carlo recognises fortresses and other no-progress 

situations, giving a much more accurate assessment of a position than other engines. It is also useful in positions where one side has made a material sacrifice for slow 

compensation (i.e. not just for combinative reasons). Sampled Search gives information about the search process, showing scores and alternative variations from the 

main line. This is helpful when the program searches for a long time in one position, allowing the user to see how the engine is thinking and making its decisions. 

Singular Moves are annotated graphically. This indicates situations where only one clearly best move exists. Look For Win is used whenever you feel that there should be 

a forced win in a position you can explicitly ask for it. Rybka then searches for a decisive move, considerably faster than in normal analysis. Persistent Hash Rybka can save 

its hash tables between analysis sessions to preserve valuable information already accumulated in the search tree. 

DEEP RYBKA 3 £89.95 (PC-DVD) is the multiprocessor version of Rybka 3. The program will run on a PC which has multiple processors/multiple cores, harnessing the 

machine’s additional hardware to speed up the program’s chess calculation. Running on an Intel Core 2 duo system, Deep Rybka 3 will calculate at roughly twice the rate of a 

single-processor system. This is particularly useful when analysing a large numbers of positions, researching new moves in an opening variation, or analysing a single position 

in detail with a number of candidate moves. Deep Rybka is at least 50 points stronger than its single-processor counterpart running on the same hardware. 

Fritz Powerbooks 2010(DVD) £44.95 Rybka Book (CD) £24.95 Endgame Turbo 3 (DVD) £44.95 

Fritz Powerbooks can be used by 

both Fritz and Rybka and is 

designed to enhance their opening 

repertoire or to study opening lines 

from. Contains 27 million opening 

positions, derived from 1.4 million 

quality games. The source games 

are also included so you can see 

how the games continued from any 

position! Discover new lines to revamp your repertoire 

and then practice them against your Chess program. 

The same format as the Powerbooks 

(see left), Rybka Book was 

developed to maximise Rybka’s 

playing strength. The choice of 

opening lines has been 

matched to the style of the 

program. The value of the book 

lies in its original analysis and 

move choices, which has led to 

a re-evaluation of certain lines in modern theory, 

all of which have never been published before. 


Consists of 9 DVDs of endgame 

databases allowing your chess 

program to play all five-piece 

and most six-piece endgames 

perfectly. Likewise, it will handle 

endgames with more than six 

pieces much better since the 

program can access this 

endgame knowledge during its 

analysis. A must-have for correspondence players, 

endgame theoreticians and fans of engine matches.

‘Dangerous Weapons’ is a series of opening 

books which supply the reader with an 

abundance of hard-hitting ideas to 

revitalise their repertoire. All of the selected 

weapons are innovative, visually shocking, 

incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly 

discarded. In ‘The Pirc and Modern’, prominent 

opening specialists concentrate on 

fresh or little-explored variations, selecting 

a wealth of 'dangerous' options for both colours.

an ethereal beauty of which few

Beginning bridge players are

typical novice declarer has no idea where to start. Yet 

the key to success is simple: Make a plan! 

In this book, the authors explain how to go about 

making a plan as declarer, using a simple step-by-step 

process. Readers will learn how to decide what to do 

on a given deal, both in notrump contracts and suit 

contracts. By the end of the book, even the most 

inexperienced player will be more confident as 

declarer.

Discipline. Regular followers of David Bird's work will know

Bridge player. He has been the 

columnist of The Times since 2000, 

where his daily nuggets have inspired 

tens of thousands. It is his Friday 

columns, aimed somewhat at the less 

experienced player, that this book is 

based. In this long awaited sequel to his 

Common Mistakes - and How to Avoid Them, Andrew takes you 

through a well-structured 251-deal journey through all basic 

areas of the game, learning form typical mistakes. What 

happened - and what should have happened. 

Expert Bridge Simplified 

Jeff Rubens £17.99 


Aimed at all standards of player 

The most common question among 

those who study declarer play is : 

"How do I calculate the odds?" Even 

highly experienced players 

sometimes struggle with reevaluating 

chances, restricted choice, and 

drawing inferences from cards 

played by their opponents. 

This book demystifies bridge mathematics and puts it in its 

proper place. Practical players will learn how to win 

through the use of "shortcuts", while those intrigued by the 

theory will find useful tools. The book's lighthearted 

approach emphasises that the effort to find the best play 

should never be allowed to interfere with having fun.
