A Jaques London Chess set was used in the famous 1972 World Championship between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, dubbed the Match of the Century.
The “Game of Kings” was made affordable for the everyman with Jaques production of the Staunton Chess set.
A 1/12th replica of a Jaques Staunton chess set was created personally by John Jaques IV for Queen Mary, and is still on display in the Queen Mary’s Dollhouse at Windsor Castle.
The Staunton Chess set gets its name from Howard Staunton, considered to be the best player of his time, who frequently railed against non-standard chess pieces in his column for the Illustrated London News.
