We could easily add an extra skin inspired by Chess Motif

I made these with the help of Game Courier, which I used to position the pieces properly.

I made the first one based on the colors used for the western set, but based on the orientation of the ones in the Japanese set, I think the second is actually the correct one.

but we'd have trouble I suppose managing the orientation of the pieces.

Game Courier handles this with a variable called $flip, which when set to true switches the pieces for the upsidedown orientation. You might do something similar in Jocly.

If you want to suggest a sprite set (100*100px)

These pieces are normally sized for 50x50 spaces, but I increased the scale to 200, which doubled them in size.
