men...@priddy.cs.utexas.edu (Matthew William Mengerink) 
asked for 3*3 chess pieces.

I hope these are improvements.  Sometimes these things look good on
one monitor but not on another.

Here are the pieces...

And if you leave out the lines in between the squares you can just 
squeeze the board onto a 24-line display like a vt320.
