Pawns - Represent the common person of the kindgom.  They are male and female.

The Rooks - Represent the Castles in the Kingdom, defended by both Male and Females within.

The Bishops - Represent the organized Church of the kingdom.  Bishops have been historically male but in the last several generations, females have begun to be ordained more.  So they are most likely male but a higher percentage of them are female each year.

The Knight - Represents the Knights of the Kingdom.  Again, traditionally this would be a male as women are not knighted but given Damehood.  If one wants to consider the Knight a combination of Knight and Dame (the way we consider mankind a combination of male and female), that would seem reasonable.

The Queen - Is female, except in certain parts of town.

The King - Is Male.  The Queen is more powerful but needs the figurehead of the male king to enact her wishes, and as such, the King takes his orders from the Queen.

All pieces and pawns except for the King are female - the King is male. Since pawns can promote to queens, pawns must be female. Since they can promote to other pieces, the other pieces must be female.

Looks like the op took your advice and closed his account. A shame since he was winning all his games even the one he lost.

Solid logic, King is the only male piece.

Pawn must be female. Knights, Bishops and Rooks that is promoted Pawns must be female. Knights, Bishops and Rooks that are not promoted Pawns can be male or female.
