About House of Chess

We met and became friends in the summer of 2011, sharing our children’s passion for chess. We have travelled the world in the years since, meeting and consulting with the most famous chess shops and best suppliers. We buy from the top chess producers in India, Greece, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, China, Spain, USA, Poland, the UK, and many more, to bring you the best, the world has to offer in chess!

Our strategy immediately set us apart from our competition, and we soon became the biggest chess supplier in the Southern Hemisphere. By the winter of 2018, we proudly established our retail shop in Johannesburg, South Africa, providing our customers with the chance to explore our range of chess sets and choose the one that suits them best.

Supporting our fellow businesses in South Africa is our passion, and we continually develop products that are manufactured locally. Our success is not only due to the quality and prices of our products. It’s down to attitude, approach, and the exceptional care we extend to our customers.

Our mission is to enhance your enjoyment, ignite your passion and deepen your understanding of chess, as it offers a wide range of benefits for the mind and personal development.

We invite you to explore our extensive collection of world-class chess sets, accessories and board games, either online, or in-store.

Feel free to reach out to us with any inquiries; we are committed to offer a unique and personalised service, to assist you to elevate your game.

Thank you for visiting House of Chess.
