Chess Piece Graphics

Sets by Fergus Duniho

	I created these Chess pieces mainly from Armando Marroquin's Chess Motif font. The image here shows only the regular Chess pieces, but there are also many Chess variant pieces. Click on the image to view the whole set. Download.
	I designed these Chess pieces all on my own without the aid of any Chess fonts. They're my own original design. The set is geometric and abstract. It combines a sense of how each piece moves with how the piece normally looks. Click on the image to view the whole set. Download
	The original Shogi pieces for Zillions of Games had Japanese characters on them. I replaced these with a set based on Armando Marroquin's Chess Motif font. I designed the Silver and Gold Generals and the Lance myself. Click on the image to view the whole set. Download
	Here's another set of Shogi pieces I made. It is a diagrammatic set entirely of my own design. Each piece has a diagram showing how it moves. Points are used to indicates moves of one space. Lines are used to indicate moving any number of spaces. Blue is used for orthogonal movement, and green is used for diagonal movement. Regular pieces have a black dot in the center, and promoted pieces have a red dot in the center. Click on the image to view the whole set. Download
