Chess House has been amazing. My eight year old son is the chess player in our house. He has been thrilled with everything he has received from you. We are actually in the process of selecting items for our next order. Your customer service was excellent when we ordered our clocks, since I was concerned that the clock might not arrive for a tournament that we needed it for. Your representative put me at ease, and ensured that the clock arrived in time. Thank you for everything. - Noreen, 12/24/2005
