  2. A weighted standard set of pieces that feel good in the hand.
  3. A chess clock for timed games and tournaments.
  4. A notation book for recording games.
  5. A beginner or middle-game book at their level.
  6. A membership to an online chess site or a club.
  7. A funny mug for the friend who knows what zugzwang means. Our Zugzwang Is My Love Language mug is made to order.
  8. A small travel set for waiting rooms and train rides.
  9. A framed famous position.
  10. A coffee gift card for the cafe where the club meets.
