It's totally subjective of course, but what robots would you have as your pieces?
Just off the cuff, here's what I came up with.
King - Voltes V Queen - Genesic Gaogaigar Knight - Dancouga Bishop - Fewture Getter 2 Rook - Mazinkaiser Pawn - Gundam RX-78

My ideal chess set would be: Good Guys-King: Mazinger-ZQueen: AfrodaiKnight: MazinkaiserBishop: Boss BorotRook: HoverPilderPawn: Kouji-------------- Bad Guys-King: Garada-K7Queen: Minerva-XKnight: Doublas-M2Bishop: Dr.HellRook: Robot carrier GoroPawn: Baron AshuraSay, That's a really neat idea! We could cast our favorite robots as resin chess pieces. I remember seeing some "gundam"-looking chess games in an artsy "hippie-bong" giftshop up here in the Lark Street district in Albany (NY). zozo-Magengar

I'm stunned no-one's suggested the obvious: Autobots vs Decepticons. You know, regular sized characters as the large pieces and mini-bot characters as the pawns... (and cassettes-characters for Decepticon pawns)... let your imagination fly from there.

I came with the idea on that one... that was years ago, in fact I made some pieces of the TF 'bots made out of folder and pentel markers as color .

In the game of chess, the queen is probably the most important and most powerful. A lot you are choosing the Maz girls as the Queen. No offense to the Fembots but they suck. You got to go with the most powerful robot as the Queen, my Choice, Mazinkaiser. As for the King, I don't really see people win chess matches with the King. Most of the time, you try to protect the King so you don't lose. So I have to go with a Robot like Mazinger Z. For the Knights, I have to go with Shin Getter, Knights are Crazy like Ryoma. Then for the Bishop, somewhat powerful Robot, like Great Mazinger. Rook, I have to go with Grendizer with his many saucers and speizers. As for the Pawns, keeping with the Go Nagai theme, I will have to use Boss Borot, weakest of all robots.
