Well, I posted it just minutes ago, and it is 9 am here, and I did actually have a sound night of sleep. I will move your new pieces to winboard.nl now.

[Edit] OK, I unpacked your zip file in a directory 'newalfa' on winboard.nl, which means the renderer will now use them if you add the extra argument t=newalfa in the query string. It doesn't entirely work as expected, though. For one, some of the pieces stay white. (I used exactly the same FEN as for the old pieces.) Which probably means the SVG has given them a shade of white that is slightly different from what it was before, and for which the renderer scans the file to substitute it. The rendering also stops at some point. (Probably a missing file, haven't figured that out yet.)

[Edit] OK, FEN rendering stops at the first missing SVG. I copied a few missing ones from the old set (lion, cannon, paovao, nightrider), but very many are still missing.
