Welcome to the International Chess Auctions site!

Our next online chess auction will take place on May 29-31. Bidding will start on the 29th of May and close on May 31st (from 19:01 London time onwards). A few lots have been already posted and more will follow shortly. On sale there will be many rare tournament books and lots of other interesting items. This may well be our biggest sale so far. For technical reasons I had to move the date of this auction forward - my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Please note that lock at the web-pages may be slightly out of sync - always check the actual "closing time" the clock is showing for every lot. To get a better idea how much time remains before bidding is closed, refresh (reload) web pages frequently. Towards the end every new bid will set the remaining time as 5 minutes. Thus bidding will go on as long as there are two bidders. While you don't have time increment in real-life auctions, there you won't be bidding at several lots at the same time either. The time increment discourages the use of special software, which would submit bids seconds before bidding is closed. We trust this system benefits our clients, making our auctions more enjoyable.
