In 1849, a chess set designed by Nathaniel Cook
was registered, and manufacturing rights obtained by John Jaques.
Howard Staunton advertised the new set in his chess column in the
Illustrated London News. Staunton men have become the standard set
for both professional and amateur chess players ever since. |
