Example chess pieces
SmTuning
supports a lot of piece sets. Below I show just a few selected
examples. You can use any piece shape with any background in any size.

|
Igor-K pieces are made using graphics painted by Igor Krizanovskij
for Open ClipArt library.
Here shown on wooden texture in 40x40 size.
|
|
The same pieces in largest (64x64) size on stylized brown background
and using shadow effect.

Beautiful Fantasy set by
Maurizio Monge
Here shown on background similar to the one used by original author,
in 48x48 size.
|
|
Fantasy looks OK also in 40x40.
|
|
|
|
Spatial is another set by
Maurizio Monge. Thanks to the original look it is a perfect choice for variant games (personally I assign
Spatial to Atomic and Atomic960).
Here shown on red background in smallest (32x32) size.
|
|
One more Igor-K, at this time on a dark background.
|
|
|
|
Shatranj Tamerlane is built using slightly edited pieces from
Tamerlane set present in Open ClipArt library.
Here shown on grey background in 48x48 size.
|
|
Eyes - another original set by Maurizio Monge.
|
|
|
|
Makruk set is also built using edited pieces from
Tamerlane set from Open ClipArt library.
Here shown on dark green in 40x40 size.
|
|
And, to show all the pleasant details, Fantasy in 64x64.
|
|
|
|
Igor-K on just another texture.

In total, there are 8 piece sets and 14 backgrounds (not all shown
above), which give 112 different combinations, and this list will
likely grow in the future. Plenty of choice, even if we remember that
there are about 40 different variant games on
SchemingMind.
