@Daniel: this is exactly what I was hopping to see! Big thanks

@HG or another editor: would you be kind to add these to the existing Alfaerie folder?

Thank you

For most of those, I have made some that I hope would be good enough. The only one I didn't try is ostrich

Hi. I need some more Alfaerie pieces for coding an ID for Obento Chess. Some are probably easy to do:

Silver Pashtun: from Silver General with 2 points instead of 1 on every direction

Gold Pashtun: similar construction

Silver Rider: from Silver General with points replaced by arrows (?)

Gold Rider: similar construction

Wildeguard (KNC): from NC with a star (?)

Is there any editor who could make them and add them?

Another one would require more work: Ostrich

Thank you

@Daniel: thanks. They are well done and they fit with the set. I hope editors will add them.

try now

@Daniel: your page is only visible by editors

Here are some pieces I've made.

I modified it :

could these be of interest too?

vice general

go between

The inside part should be colored #f9f9f9. Using the background color for inside the piece makes it transparent and impossible to recolor properly.

Do you think this svg could be added to the other beast section of alfaerieSVG?


Daniel Zacharias wrote on Sat, Apr 13 11:34 AM EDT in reply to Bob Greenwade from 11:24 AM:

Most of them are just conversions of older alfaerie images and small modifications

I don't know if this will help, but I'd recommend using something between these two as a good starting point:

I have 46 pieces I'd like to have considered for this set

A collection that big practically calls for its own page!

It would be nice to have a good Buffalo, but I haven't managed to draw it decently.

I've got some I think are mostly good enough. How should I send them?


Bob Greenwade wrote on Sun, Apr 7 03:26 PM EDT in reply to Daniel Zacharias from 03:02 PM:

Ski-ski such as [H?fR]

I think there's another term for that, though I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

If I'm wrong, then a ski-ski would be (to my mind) relatively simple: put the piece on one ski for a regular ski, and on two skis for a ski-ski.


Daniel Zacharias wrote on Sun, Apr 7 03:02 PM EDT in reply to Bob Greenwade from 02:56 PM:

Ski-ski such as [H?fR]

It'd depend somewhat on what the piece is called.

That's not clear either


Bob Greenwade wrote on Sun, Apr 7 02:56 PM EDT in reply to Daniel Zacharias from 02:44 PM:

I'm trying to avoid skis so I can also include ski-ski-pieces. Currently my best idea is two circles, one black and the other empty.

"Ski-ski"?

Another thing I'm trying to think of is how to represent visually KSNTCZ

It'd depend somewhat on what the piece is called.

Maybe this can help inspire you:

I have some that I think are ok, but one thing I want is ski pieces and I haven't thought of a really satisfactory way to do those


H. G. Muller wrote on Fri, Apr 5 02:10 AM EDT in reply to Daniel Zacharias from Thu Apr 4 07:21 PM:

In principle, yes. If these are not too different in style.


Daniel Zacharias wrote on Thu, Apr 4 07:21 PM EDT:

If I make some svg pieces would it be possible to get them added to this set?


Daniel Zacharias wrote on Mon, Apr 1 02:35 PM EDT:

The chinesepawn in alfaeriePNG appears to be missing part of its outline
