| Chess Sets |
| Chess can be traced right back to 6th century India,
It went through many changes until in the late 1400’s when it became the game we know today.
The Standard Staunton set, which is the most common design of chess set, was designed by Nathaniel Cook, and his design was registered at the patent office on March 1st 1849.
The reason it is called “The Staunton set”, and not the “Cook” set, is because Nathaniel Cook worked as the editor of the Illustrated London Times, he asked Howard Staunton, who wrote a regular chess column for the paper, to advertise the set designed by Cook.
This he did, and it became famous under the name of the “Stanton Chess Set”.
