Answers.Body: <p>Not exactly "custom" images but it has over 50 piece designs and 6 board sizes. You can make a "remix" version, as Scratch calls it and replace the piece designs with whatever you like, same goes with the board.

  <p>Edit: I've made a new HD Version of this project, it only supports an 8x8 board size but there are now over 160 piece designs and all of them are fully HD!

I attempted to program a board editor in Python with vectorized pieces but got stuck in some difficulties using the [pychess](http://www.pychess.org/) api. I hope to get a definitive program and publish it here then.

Answers.Text: Thanks and hope you can make your program soon! I'm not sure if I'll be able to add piece square centering as it would take a lot of time and coding, and I'm not the best at programming really.

Comments.Text: Actually the question you refer to asks for a program to play chess with different chess sets but doesn't talk about editting a board with personalized chess set. And on that question it appears the only answer by bow refers to a website that offers chess sets but not a chess program.

  I think you can check [Lichess](https://www.lichess.org).
  It has advanced board editor feature (along with study feature also). It uses stockfish 11 server analysis for analyzing the game, has massive database with millions of games and above all, it is completely FREE.
  Go and check that out.
