The pieces were rugged with heavy stable bases which did not tumble easily. The rooks were turned to look solid castles, the pawns were minimalist but refined, the bishops had simple mitres, the tall king was distinguished with a cross finial and the queen with coronet. This functional design of chess pieces was taken very well by chess enthusiasts and it became very popular quickly. Later it became the only design accepted by FIDE for tournaments. There are many variations in the design available now but most of these have been derived from the original Staunton design. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chessbazaar.com\/blog\/the-birth-of-the-staunton-pattern-design\/\" target=\"_self\"\u003eKnow More-\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew king side stamping p\u003cstrong\u003erocess:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e The new king side stamping is accomplished through an innovative process for a uniform stamping. King side rook and knight have been stamped in both red \u0026amp; white side. A crown emblem on the foreheads of knights and on top of the turrets of the rooks which stands on the side of the kings on both sides. The main concept behind the king side stamping is to identify and differentiate their positioning on to the king's side of the board. Another reason for using king stamping is that the rooks and knights are often designated by being the \"queen's knight\", the \"king's rook\", etc. The kingside bishop does not need any such identification as they move in their respective colors only. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA piece of art:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted in India, by the passionate designers of chessbazaar whose wish is to present you with the most wonderful reproduction of 1849 Staunton design we have ever made.
