    Gorge/HA kings.
    JP/ONOS queens.
    Lorks and hmm, rine's don't have enugh units.
    unless we count, noob rine = pawn, ownage rine = queen
    vet = rook, PT = knight <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    lerks and jps would be knights/horses since they can "jump" over other pieces

    i have a feeling this analogy isn't going to go very far

    Marines

    Pawns - light armor marine
    Rooks - Phase Gates - like castles, they claim territory
    Knight - JP
    Bishop - Arms Lab - Religion, upgrades, eh it sounded good in my head
    Queen - HA - Most powerful piece on the board
    King - CC - Without it, it's game over.

    Aliens

    Pawns - Skulks - truly are the pawns
    Rooks - Gorge - Establish new territory
    Knight - Lerk - Most diverse in attack methods
    Bishop - Fade - Blinks in straight line across board
    Queen - Onos - most powerful piece on the board
    King - Hive - without it, it's game over.

    Chess is a time honored classic, nothing beats a good game of chess (unless the other guy is being a total ****). Shame on you...

    It's the classic style of medieval warfare (even though it was invented in Asia...):

    Marshal your forces.

    Make sacrifices.

    Look for the opening, and go in for the kill.

    Turrets would be the rooks.
    Knifers would be the pawns.
    Jetpackers would be knights with a shotgun.
    HA would be the queen with an HMG.
    Comm chair would be king.
    Bishops would be light armor+LMG

    For the aliens...

    OCs would be rooks.
    Skulks would be pawns (obvious).
    Fades would be knights (knights have the advantage of being the only piece that can cover a max of 1/8th the board, regardless of what's blocking it. The analogy fits.)
    Onos would be queen.
    Gorges would be the king (he IS the builder, after all).
    Lerks would be bishops.

    Edit:

    I would pay serious money if somebody made a wooden chessboard with NS characters.

    if you think about it tho is if you wanted to make it "true" NS chess you'd have to do the fallowing

    1- make marine pawns be able to shoot aliens from 3 or so squares away
    2- skulks would get 3 moves to every one marine move
    3- the aliens would get 3 kings(hives) instead of one like the marines
    4- the marine king can upgrade his pieces which all start out as pawns but since in the game of chess there would be no Rts so all res would have to be generated by R4K

    and a bunch of other crap ..... it'd probly be so complicated that people would give up and just start throwing the pieces at each other.... so I'll just stick with NS on PC

    That was by far the most humorous thing I've seen all day.

    And trust me, it had to contend with a pretty hilarious quote as well.

    I wonder if it'd be possible to get Fam or someone on this and at least make a digital 2d realization? I'd certainly download it...

    Anyway, I'd see it this way. ^^

    Marines:
    King - CC
    Queen - ?
    Bishop - JP
    Knight - HA
    Rook - ?
    Pawn - LA (or turrets?)

    Aliens:
    King - Hive
    Queen - Onos
    Bishop - Lerk
    Knight - Fade
    Rook - ?
    Pawn - Skulk (or OC)

    If somebody took the time to make a chess board using these pieces I would buy it.

    btw: sej has the best set altho I would switch his bishop/queen setup.
