Notes

Notes on improving the chess piece resolution:

I downloaded ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/chess/chess.zip, which is version 1.2 of Piet Tutelaers' TeX chess fonts.

unzip chess.zip
cd chess
export MFINPUTS=$PWD/mf
echo chess30 | tex testfont "\table\bye"
dvips -mode ljfzzz -D 1200 testfont.dvi -o chess30.ps
convert -density 1200 chess30.ps chess30.pnm

pd.png didn't need any change. On bd.png I filled in 11 stray pixels around the + as black.
