Publisher's full cloth binding, illustrated with chess pieces. (14,4 cm.) - Howard Staunton (1810-1874) was an English chess master who is generally regarded as the world's strongest player from 1843 to 1851, largely as a result of his 1843 victory over Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint-Amant. He promoted a chess set of clearly distinguishable pieces of standardised shape the Staunton pattern promulgated by Nathaniel Cooke that is still the style required for competitions.
