You already put those on this website, at /graphics.dir/svg/ . I haven't made any new ones since then, as it seemed not much was happening with them, and almost everything that I imagined I would ever need was already done.

There is an identical set on the winboard.nl server, where I have the SVG renderer as CGI program. I use them in the Diagram of the Applet through that renderer, but the Applet first looks in the /graphics.dir/svg/ directory on CVP to see what pieces exist. (Browsers do not allow peeking at a website other than where the main HTML page comes from.) The piece table of the Applet contains everything that is there, plus some compounds that the renderer creates on the fly.

There are no SVG for these compounds (or for rotated pieces, or red / green pieces), but since the renderer can supply all those as PGN it should not be too difficult to download those one by one and put them in the PGN sets.
