Description of Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces with Cloth Drawstring Bag
The Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces are a high-end Staunton style set available at a very affordable price through WSC. They are uniquely stylish in that they come in several color combinations guaranteed to make heads turn at any club or tournament. The set is a heafty 2 lbs 14 ounces.
The noble king stands at 3 ¾ inches tall and carries a traditional cross on his head. These sets have a British style knight. He has his head held high, ears laid back—and teeth bared, and will show no quarter to any opponent. The Traditional Staunton Set plays best on a board with at least 2 inch squares.
Best of all, each set comes with a WSC Cloth Drawstring Chess Bag to store or carry the pieces to and from tournaments.
- King stands 3 3/4 inches
- King weighs 2.5 ounces
- 1.75 inch base on king
- British style knight
- Cloth drawstring bag included
Due to the color and flat finish on the blue and red sets, those pieces have an "antiqued" or played look and will show more scratches than the other colors. If you prefer a glossy piece please purchase the ivory, natural or black pieces.

Customer Reviews of Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces with Cloth Drawstring Bag
Phil from Highland Village, TX Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces with Cloth Drawstring Bag Reviewnice color, excellent size and weight
TJD from Brunswick, Ohio Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces with Cloth Drawstring Bag ReviewLove it. I'm very picky. I buy many chess sets in this price range and usually end up disappointed. This set is GREAT. I have the black and white. Looks great on my light maple wood board. Also has a great feel. Not too heavy and not too light. Nice balance, nice proportion between pieces. t.dietsche@yahoo.com
Brian from Mishawaka, IN Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces with Cloth Drawstring Bag Review...Absolutely not. My recommendation for the set notwithstanding, people should be wary of receiving a 'wholesale' quality product from this site. I received the red and ivory set looking as if it had been played Blitz with for 5 years, run over, placed in a clothes drier and then shipped to me. After 3 hours of polishing, I managed to remove most of the nicks and marring and bring the set to a caliber that I would still be hesitant to sell. All things considered, a complete lack of effort on the part of wholesalechess.com, who would do well to fire, or rather hire, their quality control department. This was a $20 set; I certainly wouldn't trust them with orders of greater value!On the set: the shade of red pictured is true to the set, they come in an attractive off-crimson which is heavily dulled by the marring and scratches you will want to polish out. A real fixer-upper though!
