What is The House of Staunton?
The House of Staunton is a US chess specialist retailer (founded 1993) selling tournament-grade wooden Staunton chess sets, premium collector sets, chess boards, chess clocks (DGT, Chronos, ZMart Fun), chess books, chess bags, and chess software. Positioning is the premium chess-set specialist with US Chess Federation and FIDE tournament compliance across the tournament range. Product sold at houseofstaunton.com.
How do I pick a tournament chess set?
US Chess and FIDE tournament norms typically call for a wooden Staunton-pattern set with 3.75-inch king height paired with a 2.25-inch square board. Pieces should be weighted (typically triple-weighted) for stable feel. Signature designs include the House of Staunton's Reykjavik II and Grandmaster series, plus historical replicas (Zagreb, Championship). Verify current tournament regulations before committing to a specific king height.
Chess set king height and board square math?
Standard convention: king height should sit at roughly 75 to 80% of the board square size. A 3.75-inch king pairs with a 2-inch to 2.25-inch square board. A 4-inch king pairs with a 2.25-inch to 2.5-inch square board. Verify the pairing on the House of Staunton product page; mismatched king-to-square proportions look off and can affect play comfort.

Main annual sale windows include Winter Sale (January, aligning with post-holiday chess gift returns), Presidents Day (February), Spring Sale, Memorial Day (25 May 2026), Summer Sale (June to August, US Open Chess Championship season), Labor Day (7 September 2026), Fall Sale, Black Friday (27 November 2026), Cyber Monday (30 November 2026), and Holiday + Year-End Sale.
The House of Staunton returns policy?
The House of Staunton typically offers a return window on unused chess sets in original packaging. Custom-configured sets, personalised pieces, and special orders may be case-by-case per product-page terms. Return shipping on non-defective returns may carry a fee due to fragile packaging requirements. Verify current returns terms on houseofstaunton.com before ordering. Cashback is void on returned orders.
The House of Staunton wooden vs plastic tournament set?
Wooden Staunton sets are the traditional tournament and collector choice with authentic weight, feel, and heirloom durability. Plastic triple-weighted tournament sets are the practical value tier for club practice, school teaching, and travel where weight and cost matter over material authenticity. For rated tournament play at higher-level events, wooden sets are typically preferred but not always required. Verify tournament rules before deciding.
Chess clock recommendations?
Digital chess clocks preferred for USCF and FIDE tournament play include the DGT North American, DGT 3000, Chronos II, and ZMart Fun (budget option). DGT 3000 is a workhorse tournament clock with FIDE-approved delay and increment modes. Chronos II is durable and standard at high-level US events. For casual play, ZMart Fun delivers reliable timing at meaningfully lower cost.
The House of Staunton chess board choice?
Signature boards include walnut, mahogany, ebony, rosewood, maple, and boxwood veneers with algebraic notation (border squares labeled a-h and 1-8). Non-algebraic boards are traditional but non-standard for note-taking during tournament play. Match board wood tone to piece tone for aesthetic coherence; darker piece wood (ebony) typically pairs with lighter board wood (maple, boxwood) for contrast.

Free shipping may apply above a published order threshold. Expedited options are available at checkout for a fee. Verify current shipping on houseofstaunton.com.
