    Kingside Stamping

    What is Kingside Stamping?

     

    Kingside stamping was part of the original Staunton Pattern design, consisting of a King's Crown stamped into the Rook  and Knight that started on the right side (or King's Side) of the chessboard.  In Descriptive notation, it is useful for distinguishing between the Kingside and Queen's Side pieces.

    Whether you use them in your chess strategy or for historical decoration, we offer kingside Stamping on some of our chess sets!

    1. Heartbreakingly Gorgeous Chess Set

      I received my IFS pieces today and I am extremely impressed with both the design (which is faithful to the main design points of the original set) and the fit and finish. No hairline cracks were apparent upon initial inspection and everything seemed very well buffed and polished. I paired them with a 2.25" HoS maple and ebony board and they look exquisite!
      I will definitely be placing more orders in the future as the quality and pricing are very on point. Thank you, HoS!
