SEE THIS SETEvery one of our chess sets is printed, cut, and assembled in Buffalo, New York. They arrive at our door in plastic bottles of liquid, sheets of felt, and steel plates. We use 3d printers, laser cutters, and our own hands to put together each set as if they were our own, and source all printed material from a local small business. Corner Tactics is proud to have our sets sold in two local games stores, and is happy to be the brand behind the first ever commercially available Buffalo Bills themed chess set with pieces modeled after buildings in downtown Buffalo.
I've loved chess since I was 10, but only became good at it during high school. I was never at a master level and never even tracked my rating, but I could always manage to beat those around me: friends, acquaintances, even teachers. After starting a chess club in high school, and reviving an archived chess club in college, I decided to turn my enjoyment of the game into a hobby that I could monetize -- without needing to be a grandmaster instructor. Since 2022, I've been designing, compiling, and licensing unique chess designs to sell online, and ship across the world, using 3D printers that I bought while still attending college. My goal is to create chess sets so breathtaking that bystanders lose track of whose turn it is in the process of admiring the pieces. In addition to owning this and other businesses, I am a full-time OTR tractor trailer driver and an aspiring helicopter pilot. I have lived in Buffalo since graduating college in 2023.
