#ShowYourStaunton Contest Winners

We asked and you answered!

We wanted to see pictures of your chess sets from the House of Staunton using #ShowYourStaunton and you didn't disappoint! We found some great shots, including beautiful backgrounds, brilliant framing and lighting, and a couple of extras like kids and pets! We had a lot of fun looking at the images and hope you had fun setting up those shots. Keep tagging your images; the world needs to see how great chess is, and the best way to do it is through you!

Three winners were randomly chosen to receive $100 gift cards from the House of Staunton. We do appreciate everyone who participated, and want to let you know that we never would have been able to choose a favorite post without the help of a computer automatically selecting our winners for us! Here are the winners; these are in no particular order.

WINNERS

We sure wouldn't mind playing chess at this location!

These pieces are the Dubrovnik Series Chess Set, a historic set with timeless significance, plus a very unique style that makes them a great conversation piece even for non-chess players!

Interested in getting a set of your own? You can find them here. They come complete with a FIDE-standard 3.75" king and extra queens (a standard introduced by Frank Camaratta and the House of Staunton in 1993).

This depicts classic chess at its finest, and we don't mind admitting we miss all of the tournaments that would normally have occurred recently but have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We do remain committed to doing what we can to keep ourselves, our employees, and our customers healthy. Stay safe, everyone!

While the House of Staunton is most well known for our luxurious, quality wooden and bone chess sets, you can also find scholastic and club chess supplies here, too. These chess pieces are Regulation Plastic Chess Pieces, which not only come in multiple colors, but also various weights, as well. Find our most popular - the Triple Weight version, here!

This is perfect placement, really. What more could you want from a set of these beautiful pieces? As with all hand-carved wooden products, these pieces have slight variations from set to set. They showcase unique characteristics from two of our favorite sets of wood pieces!

First are the Hastings Series Luxury Chess Pieces, which are reproductions from the famous 1895 super-tournament held in England. These have a 4" king and also include the extra queens that are standard for the House of Staunton.

Second are the Pro-Line Series Chess Pieces, which have the amazing diamond-shaped bishop shown here.
