Index to square graphics

In this directory/folder, several images of squares with (and also without) a piece on it can be found. These can be used for displaying positions of chess or variant chess games and problems.

Here, you see a list of all the images. A few appear more than once under different filenames.

Many of these images are of use in combination with the FFEN-to-HTML tool or the ffen2diag tool, which help to add chess (variant) setups to webpages.

Some images are given in separate webpages:

Home use

You can download a zip-file containing all image files. This can help to design webpages for this website at home. If you have additional pictures that fit in this collection: (note: use 32 by 32 pixels large gifs, and use the same background colors), then please send them to us.
