About the Chess Pieces

Lantern Chess uses Maurizio Monge's Fantasy, Spatial, and Eyes Chess Pieces with his permission(We also use Eric De Mund's adaptation of the Alpha and Merida chess pieces. "alpha" refers to Eric Bentzen's free Truetype chess font named "Alpha" and "merida" refers to Armando H. Marroquin's free Truetype chess font named "Mérida". (More info on alpha and merida see http://ixian.com/chess/#other they available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License and used unmodified by Lantern). Update - as of Lantern Chess iOS 2.10 Lanern is using a third Eric De Mund's adaptation, the USCF pieces, also avaiable at the ixian.com/chess/#other link.

Update Feb 16 2019, I've learned the Alpha pieces by Eric Bentzen that De Mund adapted are only free for non commercial use. For commercial apps, Eric charges a fee of 50 eruos. He can be contacted at Eric at kan-hurtigt-skifte@sitestory.dk.
