Here are four of the most important pieces in the game of chess rendered in stained glass: King, Queen, Bishop, and Knight.
This pattern has been revised to make it easier to cut.
I suggest that you select stone-like glass in contrasting gray, black, and ivory, or white colors, but feel free to select whatever colors you want. Go wild and try amazon green and cobalt blue!

I also like Kokomo 920SPL Light Bronze, Opal (a nice ivory opal color) for the Queen & Knight.
