It’s time to celebrate American Chess Day! Chess is an amazing game to play. I purchased my first personal chess set when I was in Krakow, Poland in 1995 and still have it!

The game can go quickly, or it can last a really, really, really long time. The modern chess game that we play now had its rules created in the late 1400s and 1500s! The first computer version of chess showed up in 1950!

What is Puzzle Master? You need to check out their website! They are a Canadian company that sells puzzles, games, jigsaws, and chess sets! The owner started out selling at craft shows, and discovered that people loved his products. There are so many options on the site. They might be Canadian, but they do ship to the United States.
