Why is Twilight on Luna's side? Shouldn't she be on Celestia's side?

Its a cool idea but the problem is that you do not know what piece is what.
Has to be obvious to be playable.

Maybe for version 2.0 you could give the ponies some of the trappings of each chess piece?

Maybe ponies could wear hats with the different chess piece tops?
Knights are on 2 hooves, everyone else is on four?

For fun, the hats don't have to be straight on their heads, the pawns could have their hats at an angle. This way you know what piece is what and you keep the pony chars.

If you are at a loss for ideas, try googling for Mlp chess set and searching DA.

Looks great.

If you wanted Twi to stand next to Rainbow, you should have switched Fleur and Rarity. The King goes on the right side, or really, on the square of his colour. Or... I dunno, but I know that the Kings should be opposite.
As it is, I love how you used fillies and Gummy as pawns XD And all the other pets, except Wynonna.

Well . . . this'll spark the Celesitan Empire/Luna Republic fanwar again.

Not one of the biggest tasks for a chess player

Dude, if you have no idea which piece is which, how would planning your moves be possible? That's my point.

you could print this out, would be easier than handcrafting pieces.

If someone wants to print it, then I suggest adding a grey background underneath the pieces in this picture: [link]

I would play. I do agree it would be difficult to remember which is what because it isn't uniform, but that could be interesting. Besides that though, I love chess, and this would be a really cool set to play with. Good job man.
