World Chess Club Berlin T-Shirt: Orange Ampelmann

First official t-shirt captures the essence of cerebral cool with its vibrant orange hue and eye-catching graphic that's bound to turn heads and spark conversations. The centerpiece is a bold, stylized depiction of a chess player, oozing with retro flair.

The main logo is on the back, and World Chess Club Berlin mark is on the front.

The design plays with shades of green and black to contrast against the orange background, creating a visual pop that's both vintage and modern. The player's focused demeanor is offset by a whimsical touch—a sprightly dog companion—that adds a unique twist to the classic game of intellect.

"World Chess Club Berlin" is emblazoned in a font that harks back to the days of old-school arcades, yet it's sleek enough to resonate with the contemporary urban fashion scene. This t-shirt isn't just a garment; it's a statement piece for those who wear their smarts on their sleeve and their love for chess as a badge of honor. Whether you're a grandmaster or a casual enthusiast, this t-shirt from the World Chess Club Berlin is a checkmate move for your wardrobe.

The t-shirt is custom produced for World Chess in Turkey. It’s slightly oversized and made out of bespoke cotton 

A wooden board and boxwood pieces will outlast you if you keep two things away from them: water and extremes. Everything below follows from that.

The board

Keep it dry. Water lifts veneer and swells solid wood; a spilled glass should be wiped at once. Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators, air conditioners and fans: heat and dry air make wood shrink, humidity makes it swell, and a board that lives next to a heater will eventually gap at the joints.

Dust it with a dry, soft cloth. Smudges and fingerprints come off with a cloth that is barely damp. If the surface feels sticky, wipe it dry. Once a month or so, a little beeswax or a furniture polish such as 3M keeps the lacquered boards looking new; our boards have a melamine lacquer that takes polish well.

The pieces

Boxwood wants the same thing as the board: no damp, no heat. Store the set in its box or pouch, not on a windowsill. Do not use polish on the pieces; a dry cloth is all they need. A piece that has taken a knock can be re-felted; write to us.

Folding and travel boards

Close them with the pieces inside their compartment, not loose on the board. Magnets do not mind temperature, but the felt does mind damp, so dry a travel set that has been in the rain before it goes back in the bag.

If something has gone wrong with a set, see the warranty or write to shop@worldchess.com.
