The Chess Store currently has a 20% off sitewide promo as the lead offer, so the 20% off voucher at the top of this page is the first place to try and is best for most purchases where the item is full price and no other restriction applies. It works across the website and requires entering the promo at checkout. If you are buying selected fall sale items, the fall sale’s up to 15% off can matter, and first time buyers can opt for the newsletter 10% first order offer instead.
Under $50: use the 20% off voucher at the top of this page. On a $50 order, 20% off takes $10 off, leaving $40, so you save more than the 10% newsletter saving. Example, on a $50 order you would pay $40 after 20% off (original $50, discounts: percent 20%, final price $40, saving $10).
$50 to $100: use the 20% off voucher at the top of this page unless the item is in the fall sale and marked at 15% off. On a $80 order the 20% code takes $16 off, leaving $64, which is larger than 15% off sale price. Example, on an $80 order you pay $64 after 20% off (original $80, discounts: percent 20%, final price $64, saving $16). If the specific product is in the fall sale at 15% the sale price may already be lower; compare the sale price against using the 20% code on the original price if the product listing shows both prices.
Orders over $100: the 20% off voucher at the top of this page still gives the biggest percent saving on full price items. Also free shipping over $100 applies to shipping cost once your order reaches $100, so factor that into the total. For example, on a $120 order the 20% code reduces the subtotal to $96 (original $120, discounts: percent 20%, final price $96, saving $24). If shipping would have been more than $4 on that order, free shipping over $100 can further reduce your total, but the free shipping threshold is separate from the promo.
Buying fall sale items: the fall sale offers up to 15% off selected products only. If the product page shows a sale price, compare that sale price with the 20% off applied to the non sale price, because sale items may already reflect the discount. The 20% sitewide code does not apply to shipping thresholds; use whichever gives the lower final cost for that item.
First time buyers who signup: the newsletter gives 10% off your first order. That is useful if you cannot or do not want to use a promo code, but the 20% voucher above will save more on the same basket.
Choose the offer that leaves you with the lower total. Use the 20% off voucher at the top of this page for most full price orders; pick the fall sale price when a specific product is already discounted by up to 15%; and add the free shipping on orders over $100 when it reduces your overall cost. Only one coupon at a time is allowed according to the voucher terms.
