Interesting idea. I had never even thought of chess works, despite having actually read this, way back when, I think.
How would you do it, with images? Some of them could be pretty big, with lots of board positions. Re-doing them as ascii boards like on old chess servers wouldn't be too much fun, but possible?
Symbols for all the chess pieces are in Unicode (see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2600.pdf ), but I don't image the glyphs are in all that many fonts! Having lots of images isn't that big a problem, especially if the images are only black-and-white. -- Jon Ingram
