1. e4—Best by test - Classic crewneck

€65.00

Codes collide. From Washington Square Park to world titles. Same move. Best by test. e4, available in 5(!) colors and with—also very different from the t-shirt!—the e4 ‘gang sign’ on your chest, but your BF’s memorable sidenote nice and big on the back of this glorious sweater. Bobby came up in New York, from park games to proper clubs somewhere halfway last century, but ‘Best by test’ still remains a chess truism. The question though is ‘Who did all that testing?’ (Probably Botvinnik, who ran a state-funded chess lab the size of a small country.)

Immortal Drop

Modern Defense is contemplating a Blade Runner (Anderssen X Kieseritzky — ‘Par vêtement bien combiné’) drop. Be sure to stay awake around Spring ’27 for that.

In the meantime, go work on your endgame!
