Well, that's how most chess fonts handle such designs, I didn't like it either. The quantity is not an issue as I've designed another block of pieces, which covers pretty much all common chess variants as well as Shogi, yet I wanted to try out the original ones before moving forward.

It was impossible for me to directly upload SVG files in the page's directory and I got a message saying 'Upload of ... has been aborted, because it has an extension of: .svg ... To upload any other kind of file, it must be preapproved by an editor who will upload it for you the first time.'

I uploaded the SVG files in the page's file section, I hope now it works. The Zip file is also available there (Atlantic Graphics.zip), it was originally uploaded at the time the page was created.

Thanks. I knew that the space could cause some problems, but didn't bother to change that.

Well, this set covers mostly the games that I liked, sort of.

I think now this set can be listed in sets.php .

I think I missed something. The white pieces were not uploaded in the Atlantic Graphic's File Manager fully. I uploaded ten missing SVGs there, so, they can be added to the directory, and then I will make a set file.

I just watched the first half of the lecture. This is exactly something that can be characterised as being beyond cool.

Diagrams redone.

This rule can be extracted from the description, which states that pawns are capable of making multiple double steps.

It looks just great. Very well-thought designs, although in a number of them I would still lean towards more abstract concepts. But that's me. It works.
