| I designed these Chess pieces all on my own without the aid of any Chess fonts. They're my own
original design. The set is geometric and abstract. It combines a sense of how each piece moves with
how the piece normally looks. Click on the image to view the whole set. Download

| Here's another set of Shogi pieces I made. It is a diagrammatic set entirely of my own design.
Each piece has a diagram showing how it moves. Points are used to indicates moves of one space.
Lines are used to indicate moving any number of spaces. Blue is used for orthogonal movement, and
green is used for diagonal movement. Regular pieces have a black dot in the center, and promoted
pieces have a red dot in the center. Click on the image to view the whole set. Download
