This should be an easy improvement: add support for the Fantasy piece set:

(I don't care about the humorous ones, just the first one :)

thanks, meow!

Very nice, I liked the first one best.

I think its important to be able to easily understand the peices without having to think (leaves more grey cells for the chess moves!)

Can these peices be used in Fritz or on chess.com?

The Space set is very cool too.

And it's available :

My question was badly worded (apologies).

Is it possible to use these pieces in my Fritz/chessbase programs? or use them on Chess.com?

and if so, how do I go about getting them to work?

Very happy to credit you if I used them for anything where they would be seen by anyone.

You can use them with winboard or xboard, in fact that was the primary platform.  And these programs can be used as clients for chess.com.  So, in that sense, yes, you can use them for chess.com.  But I suspect you just use the web client or a program specific to chess.com, then you're probably SOL.

They're also available in the latest version of the free database Scid.
