To complete the set, there is a set of figures in which all white pieces are shown as white pawns and all black pieces are shown as black pawns. Basis: Alpha figure set from Hiarcs. I hope it helps one or the other to train visualization. EST.

I'm thinking about whether it would make sense to create sets of pieces in which only certain pieces, for example the king or the pawns, are hidden. Maybe it would be useful to start with just hiding one figure in the view and then gradually increasing it. What do you think? EST

Download Lichess.png from here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhfLAkrQNW7u-22nEKYOcOcoP6V7.

Copy it to the Hiarcs installation directory in ./themes, ./themes/outline and ./themes/shadow.

You can now select Lichess as a piece set.
Hi, can you make this available again since the folder is currently empty? Thanks.
