I am perfectly happy with the choices we have. I was perfectly happy with the choices we had before, too (even though I am using one of the new ones now). After all, this is a chess site, not an art site. I need the pieces to be clear and easy to recognize, and I need colours which don't hurt my eyes. If the pieces look nice, that's a bonus. Anything more is unnecessary, and I'd rather have Russ work on more important things.

more choice in chess pieces. eg: simpson, star wars, lord of the rings etc etc

Originally posted by AikoLol, that's a funny idea! Moldy Crow could be the rook. Tirau Dan or phil nutley would make good knights. I'd also love to include Delmer's raccoon, although I don't know what piece that would be.
Use the RHP faces photos for pieces, maybe. Does anyone resembles a horse up here? Who can be the knight and the queen?

...farmyard animals.
The goose and the ducks on their right will be bishops and knights,
The rooks, similar to the pigs in the den looks,
And the goat on the lawn, cloned into eight makes the pawns.

Originally posted by stockenIn German and Norwegian (and maybe in Swedish, too?) the pawns are called farmers, so we could have farmers as pawns.

Originally posted by NordlysI didn't think about that one. Also, we call knights horses, so it really doesn't make any sense in using ducks. What was I thinking!? 🙄

{Also, I like the idea of the bull and the cow sending the farmers into battle.}
