I actually already made 2 prototype pieces for an art class. A zergling and a marine. Hope to have more time to finish the set soon!

I'm going to do Zerg since it is the race I main.

Pawn: Baneling. Oftentimes sacrificed for the greater good, but can sometimes win a game outright.

Rook: Ultralisk. The bulldozer. Anyone standing in its way better watch the fuck out, cause it's coming straight for them.

Knight: Infestor. Difficult to use, but sometimes the most rewarding unit. Those who can make the best use of them seem to be inexplicably unstoppable.

Bishop: Mutalisk. High mobility, and a great piece for beginners and veterans alike. Slips between other units and can easily be retreated.

Queen: Queen. The most important unit after the drone. Without your queens, you virtually have no army, no power. Has a variety of uses and is important at all times of the game.

King: Drone. The most valuable unit. Lose these guys and it's gg.

Fun idea, OP! I had fun coming up with these.

+ It's very interesting how choices differ when people think of taking chess pieces and finding their SC2 equivalents, versus taking SC2 units and finding a chess piece that resembles them.

Interesting indeed. I'll do that exercise:

Rook:
Colosus (cuz is the closer to a tower but it looks awful >.< )

Knight:
It can be any flying unit nowadays.

Bishop:
High Templar is the most close thing to a bishop in the game I think. For the Religious thing.

Queen: Kerrigan.

King. Arcturus Mengsk.

Pawn: Marine, zerling and zealot for sure. (Cannon meat anyone?)
