Staunton may refer to:
The House of Staunton (HOS) is an Alabama-based company founded by Frank Camaratta (b. 1943) in 1990 that manufacturers chess pieces, chessboards, and chess boxes.
The HOS specializes in the manufacture of Staunton chess sets. They offer a wide range of chess sets including older chess sets, which would have been used in the past centuries, including but not limited to: the English Barleycorn chess set, the St. George chess set, the French Regence chess set and the Selenus chess set.
Frank Camaratta is in the process of writing a book called “The Staunton Chessmen and Their Predecessors”.
The League Championship Series (LCS) is the official name for the semifinal round of postseason play in Major League Baseball which has been conducted since 1969. In 1981, and since 1995, the two annual series have matched up the winners of the Division Series, and the winners advance to meet in the World Series
The League Championship Series was promulgated in 1969, when both the National League and the American League increased in size from ten teams to twelve with the addition, via expansion, of the Montreal Expos and San Diego Padres to the former and the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots (now the Milwaukee Brewers of the NL) to the latter. Concomitant with this, both leagues formed Eastern and Western Divisions, the first-place teams from which faced off in the LCS.
Originally, the League Championship Series were best-of-five using the 2–3 format in which the team without home field advantage hosted the first two games and the team with it hosted the remaining game(s), making it impossible for the disadvantage team to win the series at home. It also allowed those teams the unusual luxury of starting a series at home, possibly having home field advantage in a three game series, and a guarantee that they play the maximum number of games possible at home (2).

Plot: Johnny has lost £25,000. It all happened so fast: he just put it down for a second and then it was gone. It wasn't his to lose. He turns to his brother Del for salvation from his criminal boss but all is not so straightforward in this existentialist crime-caper: chance meetings and peculiar turns of events escalate things to nightmarish proportions.

Plot: Joan Summers (Louise Currie) enters the office of jewel merchant Montclaire (Francis Pierlot) closely followed by Kendal Wolf (Kent Taylor). Each recognizes the other to be a jewel thief, and wordlessly they team together to steal a $30,000 diamond. Searched and questioned when the gem is missed, they are released....with the gem. Detective Sharpe (Larry Blake) is still suspicious and so is the head of Jeweler's Indemnity, who puts two underworld men on to retrieve the diamond. Kendal agrees to meet the two but the police are tipped and Sharpe confiscates the gem and the fence's money. Again Kendal and Joan are released, but each suspects the other of being an informer despite a growing romantic attachment. Kendal and Joan attend an exhibition of the Malabar diamonds, leave to follow a diamond-lade guest, overtake her car, shoot the chauffeur and slug the woman. At Kendal's apartment, Joan makes it clear that robbery, not murder, is her game. Two men and the robbed couple arrive and reveal the whole thing to be a hoax to test whether Joan will work with the gang and to assure them she wasn't the informer in the first theft.

This is just a sneak peek of what is to come a review / comparison between two sets by world-renowned chess vendors House of Staunton and Wholesale Chess. The players; "Classic wood chess pieces 3 3/4 inch king in rosewood" sold (currently discontinued) by Wholesale Chess and the "Championship Series Chessmen" sold by House of Staunton in the same size and wood selections. The other two players; "Club II Series chessmen 3 3/4 inch king in ebonized boxwood sold by House of Stauton and the Quality wood chess pieces sold by (currently discontinued) Wholesale Chess in same size and finish.
