Staunton chess pieces, the ones we know and love, the ones we simply think of as chess pieces. These classic chess pieces are named after Howard Staunton, who is considered one of the best players in the world. The horse, the most complex and distinctive piece of any chess set, features a realistically carved horse head. The Staunton horse was likely inspired by a sculpture on the east pediment of the Parthenon. The metal Staunton pieces by Manopoulos reinforce this architectural history of the originals, while respecting their timeless design.

Warning: The set may have white pieces instead of black pieces from the factory!
