In regard to feminized pieces, I have no problem with that aspect (which
hopefully is not assumed from my previous comment).  I have trouble with
mixing 'pink' and chess.  I do own a 'good angels vs bad angels' chess
set.  The white pieces are all female...mostly white and gold and skin
tone... many of the black ones are female too.  I have it only as part of
a collection... but if they were pink and / or on a pink board, then I'd
have to say 'yech.'  

However, my artistic views must not be considered to be better than the
views others hold.  The rest of the world, for example, could love pink
boards and pink pieces (hypothetically), but I still would not care for
them.

In regard to James Spratt's Jetan-Sarang, I say, 'A work of art.  Very
nice.' I've watched part of a  Jetan-Sarang game in progess, and it is
like a piece of moving art work.'
