ChessBaron Chess Set and Chess Computer Guiding Principles ChessBaron is genuinely committed to high quality hand carved chess sets and computer chess. Chess products like this, of this level of quality are becoming rarer and rarer in this commoditised world. It's just too tempting to give in to the short term desire for profit and so to skimp on materials to make the item less expensive, cutting this corner and shaving that edge. When our items are shown in future runs of antique roadshow, we intend to be still here, still around for your children and your grandchildren, serving them as we wish to serve you, with integrity, honesty and pride. Not just as buzzwords, but as the guiding principles of our name. We have our grandchildren to think of too.
