The 2026 Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz Commemorative Series Chess Pieces from The House Of Staunton are a limited edition release created in cooperation with the Chess Club and Scholastic Chess Center of St. Louis.
Only 10 sets have been produced, and the commemorative 2026 sets will never be produced again. Each chess set includes 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, plus an original manufacturer's plaque showing the production number with an adhesive backing for the underside of a chess box. Every set also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity hand signed by all ten participants.
Each set is packed in a House of Staunton Premium Chess Box with the Rapid & Blitz name and logo laser engraved on the lid. This release features the Camaratta Signature Series Cooke Luxury Chess Set design, combining the Staunton perfection of the Cooke set with the Maestro's Knight design from the Craftsman set. The event runs July 31 through August 7, 2026.
