STAUNTON CHESS SET

The first Staunton chess set was made by John Jacques & Son of Hatton Garden London in 1849. The design became very popular and is still used today in major chess clubs and national and international events.

As a rule, pawn endings have a forced character, and they can be worked out conclusively. Mark Dvoretsky
Carlsen is paying far less attention to opening theory than his rivals, he is happy to go down paths that may offer no advantage yet have the benefit of dragging opponents out of their “openings book”. Once beyond the reaches of computer-aided openings, Carlsen starts to turn the screw. Judith Polgar

When I am in the USSR, I have the feeling that every tram conductor plays chess better than I do. Hans Ree
If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible. Magnus Carlsen

I don’t particularly like being searched electronically. It is inconceivable that such a thing would happen in any other sport. It is fundamentally anti-chess, and I think the people who are behind this decision need their heads looked at! They are sick! They are ruining the very beauty that is chess. Nigel Short
