You're right, your generalization of chess players didn't deserve a response.
Not quite personalities, but...
Military:
Pawns - Soldiers at the front line. Slowly pushes their way into enemy territory.
Knights - Grenade tossers. Hand tossing grenades at enemies within a radius.
Bishops - Snipers. Long ranged shots slipping past obstacles.
Rooks - Tanks. Rolls over and destroys things in its path.
Queen - Missile/air support. Strife away.
King - Control center defender. Stops things that gets too close.
Honinbo and Sunshiny I love your responses xD
Crackin up reading Hon's and Sun, I like how you view the wooden battlefield

I don't ever remember getting together with a woman on a basis of chess. It may still happen and certainly be cute.
Being with a woman and then later doing chess together - of course this happened many many times... what can you do? It's part of who I am.
Breaking with a woman over chess? I've seen it happen to some other people. Guess they were a bit more obsessed about the game than even I am...
haha, id be lying if i said the fact my ex prefured checkers to chess didnt factor into the reasons for me ending it xD

pawns: weaklings who are willing to die for the greater good: almost like kamikaze fighters, except less destructive in general
rooks: drunken idiots who can pack a punch
knights: the type of cards player who can cheat easily at will, can tell good jokes
bishops: very accurate, assassins who will stop at nothing to see the opponent dead.
queen: A sprinter: very quick and fast who can deal the decisive blow, however it is too powerful for its own good.
king: the lazy fat king who always asks for fourths at dinner.
I like that, fourths at dinner xD
Point interest to all, why is like 3 out of 4 king descripts lasy? xD

Wonderfull thread!
Rook - Out of the box thinker. Who said that castles can't move?
King - Arrogant. Thinks everything evolves around him.
Queen - Busy type. Always working.
Knight - Crazy idiot, Clown.
Bishop - Oppinionated and stubborn. Will stick to his colour. Can however sacrifice himself for the greater good.
Pawns - Joyfull bunch of morphers. Although can block your plans if you mistreat them.
King: master- good leader kind hearted
Queen: 2nd in comand- very possessive protective
Knight: cavalier- selfless speedy loyal reliable
Rook: tank- cold protective short fuse tough reliable
Bishop: healer and clergyman- sweet shy

I always thought of it as something similar to what you wrote, except that I thought of knights as ambush attackers, and pawns as skilled thieves which have to carry a large shield and a sword only because the aarmy doesn't have enough resources. When they get to the enemy camp, they would steal some equipment and take on another role.

Since this thread has been resurrected i might as well give the pieces personalities( and some stuff about them:
Pawn- The recruits of the army. Very loyal and sacrificing but lonely pieces often get paranoid. Many of them always have dreamed of being promoted.
Knight- Highly skilled and loyal warriors but are very boastful and arrogant. They often brag about they're horses because it gets them faster into the battlefield. They often see pawns and bishops as useless good-for-nothing things and they sometimes complain when they are ordered to protect one. Despite most of them having terrible control over they're horses, they use it as an advantage to try get ahead of some unsuspecting enemies they come across.
Bishop- Very intelligent and cunning people. They always try to think of a strategy to defeat the enemy. Some of them are blind and which is why they move in different directions, often moving diagonally. They see knights as annoying and dumb and they sometimes argue with them but pawns on the other hand, they see them as little helpers and they often repay them by helping them out in the battlefield.
Rook- The king's royal guards. Cold and is very protective to their king. The rooks are feared by everyone in the army, many soldiers often keep their distance from them. Anyone that wanted to speak to the king always had to ask permission to the rooks or else they will be hurt or killed by them. They follow they're king at all times, whenever the king goes to a room or place, they will stand guard of the entrances. The queen and the bishops often try to socialize with them but the rooks just ignore them and keep looking out for the king.
Queen- An intelligent and competent woman. Often looks out for herself and everyone especially his husband and is a multi-tasker. She oftens try to socialize with the rooks but always gets no response from them. She loves his husband as much as he loves her and sometimes even makes things for him such as a king's robe. Before she was married, her father trained her to be a skilled fighter in the battlefield, giving her everything his father knows. She sometimes sneaks out of the castle and disguises as a soldier to help out the others in the battlefield.
King- The most important person in the army. A very intelligent man but always in alot of stress. He often deals with problems that always come to the kingdom and barely gets any sleep. He sometimes orders his wife and his bishops to deal with problems that happen often. He is also becomes very paranoid whenever an enemy soldier enters the castle and looks for things that he could use defend himself against them. He oftens feels very uncomfortable whenever the rooks are with him because no matter where he is, they are always watching him. Many soldiers of the army are willing to sacrifice they're lives just to keep him alive.

People who like queen are independent chill
People who like pawns are patient loyal
People who like bishops are passive aggressive
People who like rooks are blunt honest
People who like knight are sly sneaky
People who like kings are self centered jerks

Each piece matched with its animal personality:
Pawn: Wolf -loyal and is strongest in packs
Knight: Horse -is nimble and courageous
Bishop: Hawk -can strike sharply from a distance
Rook: Rhino -pummels anything it in path but is clumsy
Queen: Lioness -the strongest and most agile hunter
King: Lion -strong and majestic but lazy

"How about differences in character between different pawns?
A-pawn - shy and edgy
B-pawn - likes to embarrass enemy pieces by suddenly making the 2-square jump
C-pawn - always frustrated as he's just off the center (so bullies the enemy D-pawn continually)
D-pawn - confident as the big lady protects him
E-pawn - the eternal 'why me?' guy on the first move of open games
F-pawn - the risk taker, the guy who shouldn't have moved off of f2
G-pawn - if this isn't a fianchetto or some theoretical Sicilian attacking move, it was probably an error
H-pawn - the 'amateur-move' pawn
- - - - - - - - - -
It's possible to differentiate character according to the exact square, for example
a2 is really the shy guy in the corner, while a3 is the 'you won't come in' tough doorman, or 'the question-putter', and so on, and so forth"
I like the idea of that. The Game and Playe of the Chesse, as I think it is called, provides different occupations for the pawns (lowlife, guard, etc.). The leftmost pawn would probably be left-handed, since the book calls attention to the fact that they are sinister, which also means left.
The king is a God.
The rest are slaves.
