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 was considered one of the world's greatest players. The Horseman - the most intricate and distinctive piece in any chess set - is a realistically carved horse's head. The Staunton Horseman was likely inspired by the sculpture on the east pediment of the Parthenon. The metal Manopoulos Staunton enhances this architectural history of the original pieces while maintaining a respect for their timeless design.
