Notes

The chess board complete with columns on the left and above it is provided by a 9x9 GridLayout. The first cell of the grid layout is a label with no text.

To simplify the game logic though, we maintain a separate 8x8 array of buttons.

To allow keyboard functionality we use buttons for the chess board places. This also provides inbuilt focus indication. Remove the margin of the button to allow them to shrink to the size of the icon. Add an ActionListener to the button and it will respond to both keyboard and mouse events.

The small ? in the left hand side of the GUI is meant to imply that area is 'reserved for future use'. We might use it to show lists of captured pieces, a selector for choice of piece when promoting pawns, game statistics, ...

The chess piece images were obtained from Example images for code and mark-up Q&As, which was in turn developed out of 'Fill' Unicode characters in labels.

Using images is simpler, whereas filling Unicode characters is more versatile as well as being 'lighter'. I.E. to support 4 different colors in 3 separate sizes of 3 different chess piece styles would require 36 separate sprite sheets!
