That's really cool. You used vibrant colors with a good yellow/green theme which makes it very aesthetically pleasing.
Is the goal to eventually make this become a chess variant? I won't tell the moderators if you are just using this to make play art.;)
You're making me wonder if this Diagram Designer can be used to show the board set-up for "Chess on an Infinite Plane". The initial view is usually 20 files x 22 ranks. One minor problem is that the files are labeled by numbers rather than letters (to allow easier notation for when pieces move very far left or right).
The last steps would be to find replacement symbols for the guard, chancellor, and hawk. There's also a Huygens - but I have not found anyone who will play me in a game with that option yet. The huygens jumps prime numbers of squares (3, 5, 7, 11,...).
Thanks for sharing the diagrams. I'll check here again to see what else gets discovered!
