Inkscape crashes more often than Ultimate Paint, which at least has the excuse of being a 32-bit program that development stopped on 19 years ago. Here's what I've done today:
One other issue I have with Inkscape is that it will not let me enter Chess Magnetic characters in bold, which would be useful for giving smaller versions of the characters thicker borders. Paint.net let me do this, which helped me make the Pawn-based pieces look better than most of these Pawn-based SVGs do. So I'm thinking of making some alternative pieces that use the base of the Pawn without the stem so that I can use a larger version of the other piece.
