Somewhere in the 19th century in this month of April, a great English chess master, newspaper chess columnist and author was born. He was Howard Staunton, considered at that time as the strongest chess player from 1843 to about 1851. He gave his name to the style of chess pieces which he endorsed. The Staunton chess set is now the official FIDE standard for playing sets.
