From a Paanwala's Board to Premium Chess Pieces: Hardik's Story

From a Paanwala's Board to Premium Chess Pieces: Hardik's Story

As I start writing this story, it takes me back almost a quarter of a century. I grew up watching amateur people playing chess at a nearby 'Paanwala' shop. As time passed, I leaned towards cricket and chess became a sweet memory — until 2015 when I moved to Bahrain for professional reasons.

With less room for cricket in the year-round heat, I took chess out from the bottom drawer of my memories. After a lot of online search I read about CHESSBAZAAR and decided to order the Staunton series 3.8" king. I was so anxious to feel the pieces in my hand that I left the office a bit early! I was not disappointed at all. This is my first purchase from Chessbazaar, but definitely not the last.

— Hardik, India
