John Stanback's SCP:

Tom Kerrigan's TSCP:

8  r n b q k b n r
7  p p p p p p p p
6  . . . . . . . .
5  . . . . . . . .

2  P P P P P P P P
1  R N B Q K B N R

   a b c d e f g h

The program that Eugene Nalimov posted the code from:

   0 r n b q k b n r
  10 p p p p p p p p
  20 - - - - - - - -
  30 - - - - - - - -
  40 - - - - - - - -
  50 - - - - - - - -
  60 P P P P P P P P
  70 R N B Q K B N R
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

But I like what you have, it's very easy to identify the black pieces.
