Schaak en Gowinkel het Paard
    Keywords: Books & Publications, Equipment

As the name says, a shop carrying Chess and Go related materials. They have about three bookcases of Go books, including texts in Japanese (and some duplicates). The owner is Peter Zandveld, a 4d go player himself. He is a nice guy who is willing to help you pick a Go book. (The rest of the staff don't even know the price of The Second Book of Go :-)

 The address is:
 Haarlemmerdijk 173, 1013 KH Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
 Tel +31 (0)20 6241171
 Open: Tue-Sat 10.30-17.30, Thu till 20.00

Tram 3 will take you to the Haarlemmerplein, from the tramstop cross the square to get to the Haarlemmerdijk. You will find the shop at your right-hand side, after about 75 meters.

It's a 15-20 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station.

-- Jan De Wit

Skelley: What you say of the 'rest of the staff' is unfair. Marjan is a go player herself, 1k, and she is very friendly and helpful.

tsjanl: I agree. She was a great help in advicing which books to read after you have mastered the rules.

gG: I sent them a Fax and E-Mail recently. Nobody responded. yet.

Velobici: I am surprised to hear this. In the fall of 2003, I order four back issues of Go World from Het Paard. By accident, one of the issues was not what I ordered. After speaking to Het Paard by phone, they immediately sent out the missing issue which arrived promptly. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Stefan: I have been buying from Het Paard since close to ten years now - once in their shop in Amsterdam, a couple of times at tournaments and many times via fax/email. I have always been very satisfied with their service.

gG: Everything is fine. I just received a fax from them.
