hi, thanks for submitting this piece set. It is indeed quite unique, which qualifies it for inclusion in the lichess piece set collection

here's some feedback from the team. Feel free to ignore what you already considered, but disagree with. You're the artist here.

• the white piece outline contrast is a bit brutal
• the inner colors have low contrast
• it's a bit hard to distinguish the pieces from each other

In order to be included, the piece images must be squared and have the correct proportions. Here's an example.

I don't plan on including the board as it's not unique enough, I hope you don't mind.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Agreed that the contrast is a bit low, especially for the white ones. I'll see what I can do. The silhouette for the king/queen is also pretty similar now that I look at it.

The outline colour is a stylistic choice though, I'd prefer to keep it as-is if possible :)

I'm not sure what you mean about the correct proportions - the svgs all have a viewbox of 0 0 72 72, so perfectly square. I see that the xkcd pieces have a width and height associated as well - is this what you're referring to?

And no worries about the board!

also, just to be clear - would you like the plastic (black/white) variant as well, or just the wood (brown/light brown) variant (which is all that's currently included in this PR)?

👍 as I said you're the artist.

Indeed... for some reason github is showing me rectangular images:

I'll try the set now to see if it does work.

to reduce choice paralysis we reduce the amount of available piece sets, and avoid having similar ones. So only one variant please.

Yep it's working well as is

Ok, made some updates - I've tried to keep changes as minor as possible. The most noticeable is the queen (below), which I've made a bit more flowery to differentiate it from the king. I'm personally of the opinion that everything else is readable enough - feel free to disagree though!

Other changes:

• White knight, bishop and rook have very slightly more contrast.
• Fixed a bug where seams between sections were visible as a thin black line (e.g. see the bottom of the original white rook).

And it's online!
