Russell Enterprises

Russell Enterprises is North America's largest dedicated chess book publisher, operating out of Milford, Connecticut since 1986. With a catalog of over 150 titles, they have built a reputation for publishing high-quality books across every area of the game — from opening theory and endgame technique to historical deep-dives and grandmaster biographies.

The catalog covers a wide range: classics like Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual sit alongside practical opening systems, puzzle collections, and biographical works on legendary players like Capablanca, Lasker, and Smyslov. Authors include some of the most respected names in chess instruction, and many titles are available through major book retailers worldwide as well as directly from the publisher.

Distribution spans both North America (via SCB Distributors in California) and Europe (via Schach Niggemann in Germany), giving Russell Enterprises genuine global reach. For coaches, competitive players, and serious students who prefer a physical or deeply-researched book to a quick online lesson, this is one of the most comprehensive chess libraries in print.
