I don't know anything about chess but here is my attempt (with two
versions of black pieces, I can't decide which one I like best):

  \+/    \^/   (V)   ("\   [-]    _
  ) (    ) (   ) (   ) '   | |   ( )
 /___\  /___\ /___\ /___\ /___\ /___\


  \+/    \^/   (V)   ("\   [-]    _
  )#(    )#(   )#(   )#'   |#|   (#)
 /###\  /###\ /###\ /###\ /###\ /###\


  \+/    \^/   (V)   ("\   [-]    _
  )8(    )8(   )8(   )8'   |8|   (8)
 /888\  /888\ /888\ /888\ /888\ /888\
