4 ,By the early decades of the 19th century,there was a great need for a chess set with pieces that were easy to use and universally recognized by chess players of diverse backgrounds. The solution, first released in 1849 by Hatton Garden, LondonEngland,which came to be known as X which are still in use today. ans:Staunton chess set. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staunton_chess_set#Old_style_chess_sets The increased interest in the game of chess, particularly in international play during the late 18th century and early 19th century, brought about a renewed demand for a more universal model for chess pieces. The variety and styles of the conventional form begun in the 15th century had expanded tremendously by the beginning of the nineteenth century. Some of the more common conventional types popular during the period included the English Barleycorn chess set, the St. George chess set, the French Regence chess set, named after the Café de la Régence in Paris and the central European Selenus chess set. Most pieces were tall, easily tipped and cumbersome during play. But their major disadvantage was the uniformity of the pieces within a set. A player's unfamiliarity with an opponent's set could tragically alter the outcome of a game.
