The traditional design of staunton chess sets has undergone a change by stealth over the last decade, leading to a plethora of wonderful designs led by the knight. Senior carvers are invited to express their artistic flair in the design of the knight chess piece more than any other piece on the board. What used to be a choice of chess set based on the weight of the set of pieces and the type of wood used as material now includes the knight design as an equal part of the chess trinity for a consumer that demands style difference and striking products. It’s now, ebony or bud rosewood, triple weighted and a beautiful knight design.
