Building a new chess site (rather part of the OICS project) and looking for images to use for pieces and board.

I could try creating my own via gimp, but my drawing skills aren't very good Know there are a lot of them out there on the web, but since I plan to use this for a website looking for something I can use without fear of being sued later.

Really like the ones used on lichess.org, but not sure about the (C).

Thanks in advance!

Hope if this project comes to fruition it'll be something you all will enjoy. Plus it's a good exercise for me to learn HTML5, Javascript, and CSS.

I ended up using the ones from wikipedia (looks the same as lichess). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_piece. They are licensed under the creative commons.

If you want a sprite sheet, feel free to use the one at http://forwardcoding.com/projects/ajaxc ... prites.png.

Lists many sites, I prefer the look of the Alpha set.
