Hi,

anybody know an interesting chess shop in Prague? I'll be there some
time next week and would appreciate very much having an address or
directions.

You will find chess shops by just walking around the main shopping areas.
There are quite a lot of them doing mostly Boards and Pieces. I didn't see any
books so if that is what you are looking for you may be disappointed.

One shop I found is near the Karlov Bridge. The directions are walk across the
bridge from the Castle, straight across the road and the first alleyway on the
right has one hidden at the end. I didn't buy anything here.


Where I bought stuff was:

Christo D Klisurov
Celetna 12
Praha 1
Tel 060 28 99 81

This one was doing better prices at the time, but it pays to shop around;-)

Go to Hradcany (King`s Palace) then go down to Mala Strana and to
Stefanikova Street. Before the round building of Komercni (Commercial) Bank
you will find on your left a good chess shop. Unfortunately I don`t remember
the number so you have to look carefully at the window exhibitions.

If you just look for a splendid crystal chess set from the famous bohemian
glass then go to Vaclavske Namesti (Vaclav Square) and you will find there
many shops with such magnificent sets.

Try sending an e-mail message to www.chessbookshop.com I'm not sure
if they're located in Prague, but the proprietor, Karel Mokry, is a
Czech GM who runs a chess book-selling business. He is located at:

Brnenska 38
CZ-796 01 Prostejov
Czech Republic, Europe

As you can see Prostejov is not Prague. It`s not even in its vicinity.
However GM Mokry has a good shop too ;-)

Thank you for the suggestions. It's good to know there are fine
alternatives within walking distance in the centre.
