More AI chess images
12 Mar. 2025
Last year my blog AI chess images examined a free online tool that employs AI to generate high-quality pictures, based on descriptions given in natural language. I used the application to create a set of 32 chess-themed images which can be downloaded from my chess graphics site, Virtual Pieces. For this update, a new collection of 32 chess images has been added, half of them in a large landscape format. Previously the tool produced only square pictures sized 1024 x 1024 px, so the landscape option of 1792 x 1024 px (1.75 ratio) now available represents a major improvement. I mostly use the created files as wallpapers for my PC, and they still look sharp when stretched to fill the screen of my 2K monitor. Two of my favourites have been placed on this site as headers of the Home and About pages.
