Good post! I suggest you should make the Bishops a little tall-

For example, two possibilities:

Hello! It's my first post here, so I'd like to greet you :)
Few weeks ago I made a chessboard in ASCII... It was posted to
pl.rec.ascii-art.
I'll paste it for you :)

For those not educated in board games, chess is not as good as it seems,
it is all just about tactics, practically no strategy involved. Better
try go, or some kind of abstract board game.
