Here is mine:

  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
8 |=R=|=N=|=B=|=Q=|=K=|=B=|=N=|=R=|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
7 |=P=|=P=|=P=|=P=|=P=|=P=|=P=|=P=|
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
6 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
5 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
4 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
3 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
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


Greetings,
Steffen.
