I love the octagonal idea! Maybe I'm just getting tired of the same-old-same-old, probably a cognitive bias, but I believe there's a neuro-cognitive advantage to this design most particularly better emphasizing bishop and queen diagonal movements; although, perhaps this challenges some of the hidden wisdom of the game's intentionally subtle canonical design.

Here, I've just made smaller aesthetic variations, I may re-edit this by adding in more border coloring. The idea(s) at work here has me inspired to build on top of it with more productive things: I might write me an online chess program! Regardless, now I'm in the mood for some templating.
