There's a chess program in the archive that has all the pieces in separate =
bitmap files ( http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&wi=
n=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=chess ). Try contacting the author (Nor=
mand Blais) and ask for his permission to use it yourself. They don't have =
the same background but changing it is just openinig paint and use the fill=
 function ;)
