CHESS BOARDS & PIECES (10)
Staunton is without doubt the most recognised style of chess piece in the world today. Designed in the mid 1800’s it soon became the standard design for chess pieces and has been imitated ever since.
As chess spread all around the world, by the mid 19th century, there were so many different styles of chess pieces, that players often refused to have matches on each other’s boards, having trouble with differentiating the characters.
In 1849, when journalist and illustrator Nathaniel Cook came up with the most simplistic and symbolic design, which we all know and love today, and named it after the English chess master Howard Staunton. That’s how now-classic Staunton pieces were initially created. And since then, it’s the official style of sets for any chess tournament around the world.
There are now 1000’s of variations of the Staunton theme available and new versions coming out every year. Only the finest graded materials are used alongside expert craftsmanship to bring you quality chess pieces.
Staunton chess is today considered to be the classic chess set for professionals and hobbyists alike. The reason why people love Staunton chess sets is their classic design. Whether you’re new to the game of chess or you’re an old pro, consider purchasing a Staunton chess set to add to your collection.
