Quality Chess

Quality Chess UK Ltd (known as Quality Chess) is a chess publishing company, founded in 2004 by International Master Ari Ziegler, Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard and Grandmaster John Shaw. The company is based in Glasgow. In 2024 it was announced that Quality Chess bought New in Chess and Popular Chess. The New in Chess website says that Quality, Everyman/Popular and New in Chess merged, and the print books of all three are sold through the New in Chess site. Chess.com apparently has the digital rights to the books, and sells video versions on their site. The company focuses on quality of publications rather than quantity of books. In 2005, the book Learn from the Legends: Chess Champions at Their Best by Grandmaster Mihail Marin won the ChessCafe.com "Book of the Year" award.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
