LINE/TALK: More on chess pieces

LINE/TALK: More on chess pieces

Hello,
	I've inserted another set of chess pieces I've created.  [With the
exception of the Knight which I saw on someone elses .sig]  I am unhappy
with the coloring of the black pieces, the queens, the kings, and the colored
pawns.  Unfortunately to make this board fit on even a large monitor a 
6x9 font needs to be used (w/ 8x8 filled in).  So, this set may just remain
used for a nice .sg or some such.  Anyway, improvements on the above mentioned
are welcome.  Further, I'd like to see some people create a chess set w/
board and all that fits 80 characters across and whatever down.  With the
following properties:  
	
	1.  Looks square
	2.  Discernable pieces
	3.  Colored squares that don't muddle the figures

			Good luck,
					Matthew
