Chess (Variant) Graphics by Jean Louis Cazaux. Icons of chess variant pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Bonjour, Magritte.  I believe you are misreading me.  I was not lecturing
M. Cazaux, who I have no real reason to believe is reading this anyway,
and who I will readily admit probably knows more about chessvariants than
I, but who I will not readily admit knows more about art than I (
www.sprattart.com ), nor was I making any comparison between his icons and
mine.  I have never said that my Jetan icons were any standard of
excellence, either; those particular icons are patterned after real
sculpted pieces four to six inches tall, and I'll be the first to admit
that they are a bit difficult to distinguish at 60 pixels if you are not
an ERB Mars fan who already knows something about them.
My comments were intended to be helpful, based on decades of hard-won
experience, and no reflection on M. Cazaux, whom I note that you are not,
and who is probably a very nice guy who could polish his icons a bit.
