Try the "Thief interface" at this link. I like it very much as you can give the
board just about any color you like and it has quite a variety of pieces to
choose from and you can make the board to a very nice size. I tried several
interfaces that are available and come to like this one the best! It's was also
rated the best interface to play bughouse and some of the other non-traditional
varieties.
Here is the Link, enjoy!
