After successful leadership in decorative chess, SAC now
offers a range of beautiful Staunton-style chess sets. The
wood materials used are sheesham wood (also called golden
rosewood). The detail of the pieces show superb craftsmanship.
The more expensive chess sets are weighted which provides
good on-board stability and an added justifiable feeling
of quality. Over 150 years ago Nathaniel Cooke of the Illustrated
London News, and Howard Staunton, the unbeaten Chess Champion
of the time, introduced the Staunton style of chess pieces.
They achieved instant success and have now become the only
universally accepted chess design throughout the world. |
