and perhaps even more oddly the Boat (possibly among others) seems to be missing. I'm very curious where these came from
There are many icons in all sets that haven't been posted yet. Ships and such will be in Part 3, for example.
As for where they came from, I stumbled across https://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/alfaeriemisc/ a while ago, and soon after found https://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/utrecht/; H.G. more recently pointed me to https://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/utrechtPNG/. That, the main Chess Variant Graphics page, and the table on the Play-Test Applet are my main sources.
That said, I'm excited to see the updated set. And 400 icons (is that 400 or only 200) would seem to me to put it second only to Alfaerie!
Several are in more than two colors, so the actual count (by my reckoning) is 157.
And I probably will keep at least some of the old ones.
