<h3>“Help your pieces so they can help you.”<br>— Paul Morphy</h3>
<br>
Looking at the exquisite beauty, elegance, harmony and functionality of the original Staunton chess pieces, one musk ask: “How can this almost perfect design be made even better?” And indeed, when you review the <a href="https://www.stauntonchesssets.com/staunton_anatomy.html">anatomy of the Staunton pieces</a>, you can’t help but conclude that this timeless work of art is very difficult to improve. But it is possible to give different interpretations and adapt the form to different purposes. Let’s first look at the basic characteristics of individual pieces: 
<br><br>
In Europe, chess is presented as a game of conflict between two feudal states with a monarch and his queen at the head (King and Queen), who are accompanied by priests (Bishops), and for whom cavalry chevaliers (Knights) and infantry (Pawns) fight in front of castle towers (Rooks). So, in the game we have six different figures, and each has its own character:
<br><br>
• Pawn<br>
• Rook<br>
• Knight<br>
• Bishop<br>
• Queen<br>
• King 
<br><br>
The least variation in all Staunton shapes is in the design of Pawns, Rooks and Queens. The Bishops mostly varied in its interpretation of the hat called Mitre, which is worn by Roman Catholic bishops in Europe.

<h3>„Помозите својим фигурама да би оне помогле вама.“<br>— Пол Морфи</h3>
<br>
Гледајући изузетну лепоту, елеганцију, склад и функционалност оригиналних Стаунтон шаховских фигура, морате се запитати: „Како је могуће овај готово савршен дизајн учинити још бољим?“ И заиста, кад прегледате <a href="https://www.stauntonchesssets.com/staunton_anatomy.html">анатомију Стаунтон фигура (енг.)</a> не можете се отети закључку да је овакво ванвремено уметничко дело врло тешко побољшати. Али могуће је дати различите интерпретације и прилагодити облик различитим наменама. Погледајмо најпре основне карактеристике појединачних фигура:
<br><br>
Шах је у Европи представљен као игра сукоба две феудалне државе са монархом и његовом краљицом на челу (краљ и дама), које прати свештенство (ловац), и за које пред кулама замка (топови) ратују витезови на коњима (скакачи) и пешадија (пешаци). Дакле, у игри имамо шест различитих фигура, и свака има свој карактер:
<br><br>
• Пешак<br>
• Топ<br>
• Скакач<br>
• Ловац<br>
• Дама<br>
• Краљ
<br><br>
Најмање варијација у свим Стаунтон варијантама има око дизајна пешака, топа и даме. Ловац је углавном варирао интерпретацијом капе зване Митра, коју у Европи носе римокатолички бискупи.

By far the largest number of variations refers to the design of the Knight, a cavalry chevalier stylized as a piece of a horse’s head. The inspiration for this design was most likely a sculpture from the British Museum, taken from the eastern façade of the ancient Greek temple of the Parthenon:
</div>

<div class="pull-right">
<h3></h3>
Далеко највећи број варијација односи се на дизајн скакача, витеза-коњаника стилизованог фигуром коњске главе. Као инспирација за овај дизајн, највероватније је послужила скулптура из Британског Музеја, однета са источног прочеља древног грчког храма Партенона:

<h3></h3>
The Knight shape provides the greatest freedom of creative expression, but at the same time the piece must be adapted to the game, ie. it has to be easy for manipulateion in a fast game during time troubles. Due to that, the players were especially sensitive to its form, and the search for a shape that is both elegant and functional continues to this day. In the meantime, we have seen many more or less successful attempts:
</div>

<div class="pull-right">
<h3></h3>
Изглед скакача пружа највећу слободу креативног израза, али фигура истовремено мора бити прилагођена игри, односно лака за манипулацију у брзој игри у временском теснацу. Због тога су на његов изглед играчи били нарочито осетљиви, а трагање за обликом који је истовремено елегантан и функционалан и даље траје. У међувремену, видели смо мноштво више или мање успешних покушаја:
