About the Tournament
The 2019 Sinquefield Cup is the fifth Super GM tournament to be held in Saint Louis, and it features twelve of the best players on the planet including: Magnus Carlsen Fabiano Caruana, Sergey Karjakin, Hikaru Nakamura, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Viswanathan Anand, Wesley So, Anish Giri, Ding Liren, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov
Started in 2017 and carried into 2019, a fresh new design for the DGT-enabled Sinquefield Cup Chessmen has been selected. The chessmen are a reproduction of the earliest Staunton chessmen produced between 1849-1850, but with the magnificent new Camaratta Knight design.Because the players would be playing on DGT Project Electronic Sensor Boards, it was decided that the Chessmen would need to feature a 3.75" King Height, allowing it to fully adhere to both USCF and FIDE tournament rules. And the Sinquefield Cup Official Chessmen were born!
In cooperation with the Chess Club and Scholastic Chess Center of St. Louis, the House of Staunton is offering the 2019 Sinquefield Cup DGT Commemorative Chessmen. It is a limited edition Chess set, with a total of only 5 units available.
Here's your chance to own a piece of chess history, featuring twelve of the greatest players in the world, including World Champion Magnus Carlson & Former World Champion Vishwanathan Anand.
NOTE - These are DGT-Enabled Chess Sets.

About the Chessmen
The House of Staunton is proud to offer another masterpiece - Camaratta Signature Series Cooke Luxury Chess Set! Combining the Staunton perfection of the Cooke set with the Maestro's Knight design from the Craftsman set, these Chessmen showcase the Maestro's passion for Greek architecture, as well as the highest standard of the Staunton pattern.
The Cooke design is a perfect reproduction of the original Staunton-pattern chessmen, the standard by which every tournament Chess set has been designed.
The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton over 10 years ago.
The Chess Set comes with an original manufacturer's plaque indicating the production number, with an adhesive backing that would allow it to be affixed to the underside of a Chess box.
