I beat you by 4 minutes! :-)

It is interesting how we both chose a different rectification of the board; mine spoils the coordinates, yours spoils the moves of the pieces. In your representation it would in principle be possible to use a whole-board image as background that has the original diamond-shaped cells.

I tried using the Atlantic SVG set through fen2.php, but this set is not suitable for use on a black-and-white board. (Alfaerie doesn't do so well either, on the dark squares...)

[Edit] Concerning Pawn: Ah yes, I had overlooked that detail in the description. Thanks!
