Here is an idea:
8| (r) [n] (b) [q] (k) [b] (n) [r]
7| [i] (i) [i] (i) [i] (i) [i] (i)
6| ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=]
5| [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( )
4| ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=]
3| [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( ) [=] ( )
2| (I) [I] (I) [I] (I) [I] (I) [I]
1| [R] (N) [B] (Q) [K] (B) [N] (R) <-@
---------------------------------
A B C D E F G H
Its somewhat symetrical and maybe easier to see the dark squares.
Look, the hills have i's. -matt
