The problem is that it's hard to make the chess pieces scalable. Automatic scaling tends to produce lots of jaggies unless it's done in a very sophisticated way. So xboard provides three fixed sizes with hand-tuned bitmaps. It didn't seem worth my effort to try to do better. If you don't agree that scaling would be hard, then feel free to code up the feature yourself and add it to xboard, or to your own chessboard program. --Tim
