About ChessBaron USA



Chess Baron USA is headed by Janet Clark.


Janet launched ChessBaron USA in 2004, in order to provide high quality chess goods to the American market. Her research showed that many US stores sell chess sets for ridiculously high prices and that online sites gave little more than a thumbnail image and a product title and expected customers to buy. Janet knew that the whole approach was at odds with the needs of the American consumer who likes to shop around and compare and find the best deal.
