Note, these pieces are of course slower than xboard standard pieces. Startup xboard takes in my 800Mhz with Nvidia Gforce 2 MX videocard 2-3 seconds. With standard pieces xboard starts in my machine immediately. However, playing seems fast enough, i played few lightning games in FICS without any problems. This is first time ever i made something with layers in GIMP. Im not any graphics expert. Each piece is 30-40 KB, maybe later i will find a way to reduce size somehow.
