Should one stay with the classic Staunton design for chess pieces? I've seen more modern designs for pieces and they seem to be confusing. I purchased a set of modern design pieces and found it confusing because the Queen and Pawns look identical except for their size. I've had the same issue with chess sets based on popular characters (Batman, The Simpson) and periods of history (like the Civil War). I've not had that confusion with the classically designed pieces.
