Custom Chess Pieces?

}

The above CSS code works, but only for this instance of the game. It seems that chess.com creates the ID with a trailing set of digits (the 24430899331 part of the #board-liveGame-24430899331  CSS code) which is different every time.


.piece.bp, .promotion-piece.bp {

}
I tried removing the ID, leaving just the classes, but now it doesn't work.

Okay! I managed to do the custom chess pieces, custom chessboard (with branding overlays) and custom animated gif (live wallpaper) using CSS code and Stylus. See below:

1. Custom Chessboard with branding logos on a1 and h8 squares.

This is the Mayura chess pieces with Mayura pastel-colored chessboard. IMHO, it goes nicely with the Light theme of chess.com.

Here's my Twitch channel mascot, Duri.

Using Paint.NET, I've added him in two layers of a .PDN file and reduced the opacity to -76. The effect is an opaque logo at the a1 and h8 squares. For branding purposes.

2. To top it off, I've added an animated gif to the background.


Will use this interface on a cold, grey, raining day. Now I am complete.

There are some extensions that I use that help me play with the css code and actually save it, I have tried out a couple of boards.

Hello,

I was wondering if this following feature could be added in the future, i made some custom chess pieces in photoshop and wanted to replace them with the ones under theme. would be nice to have a feature custom pieces so it just replaces the images or something.

 

Hope you like the idea but not sure if its at all possible.

 

Thanks!

For use in actual rated games? I doubt it.  Some people would want to substitute pieces that would not have a Staunton or other pattern immediately recognizable to opponents. That would be a problem.

There's a reason you never see Lord of the Rings sets in over the board tournaments.

 

Obviously It won't be used for actual games, probably a separate game mode

I have no clue what this thread's going on about, I just wanted to replace the pawns with pawniard, bishops with bisharp, queens with vespiquen/nidoqueen, kings with kingambit, you get the idea.

I agree with what all these guys are saying. I would love custom chess pieces! I Chess.com, I think that would be the perfect way to spice up your Platinum or Diamond subscriptions. 

BibooKira

why not just install the extension? i found an extension called Chess.com Custom Pieces and it works pretty well
