This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is copied below.

This symbol image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Chess ndd40.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Chess tile for making chess boards, e.g. with w:Template:Chess position.

The naming is as follows: chess_xyz40.png where

  • x is the first letter of the piece (k for king, q for queen etc.)
  • y is l or d according as the piece is a white (light) piece or a black (dark) piece
  • z is l or d according as the piece stands on a light square or a dark square

chess_l40.png and chess_d40.png are empty light and dark squares respectively.

chess_xxl40.png and chess_xxd40.png are empty light and dark squares with X's. They can be used in chess diagrams.

The image was made with xboard. The background color of the image was made brighter, and it was then scaled down using imagemagick (mogrify) from a higher resolution 129x129 version, because xboard images are not antialiased. Xboard is GPL'd; I'm not sure about the technicalities of GPL/GFDL compatibility but this image is freely redistributable.
