More than twenty-five years publishing great chess books from stars such as 5-time U.S. champion Larry Evans, the dean of American chess, have made Cardoza Publishing one of the largest and most successful chess publishers in the world. Our lineup of writers is comprised of U.S. and Russian champions, grandmasters, masters, and authorities on all aspects of the game -- openings, middlegames, endgames, basic how-to books, and collections on champions.

No matter your skill or experience level, if you love chess, you’re sure to find many titles to improve your game -- or simply to entertain. There are books for children, players who love chess puzzle-solving, and those who want to follow the thinking of how champions play the game.

Our philosophy is to bring you the best quality books from the top authors and authorities in the world. Our chess titles feature words as opposed to hieroglyphics, clear explanation as opposed to gibberish, and quality presentations as opposed to random pages. We think you’ll like the results.
