I kind of feel like an undertaker could be a bishop :o
Then again, there are a lot of pawn positions to fill

Alex/Mike/myself are rattling our brains trying to think of how to build the board. Anyone have any suggestions?

Requirements:

• Board should be sturdy, quiet, uniform in texture
  
• We'd like the best solution for the cheapest amount of materials
  
• Squares should alternate in color (like an actual chess board)
  
• Dimensions: 16' squared
  
• Coordinates should be written on squares in such a way that pieces know which square to stand on
  
• Coordinates should be visible to pieces, but not audience
  
• Coordinates should be legible to both white and black pieces
  

So far we've considered thin wood, oil cloth, transparent plastic, tarp, vinyl, duct tape, and even projection. I don't want to use that much duct tape at-con, since that would greatly increase setup time.

i would try it if i could get a better explination of the rules

In terms of board-marking: What if we just had little numbers in the corners of each square, and the players were using a similarly-numbered small board, so they could just say "Move to square 17" if the pieces were confused?
