Letter Squares

It's time to start putting the letter squares together. "Casual Observer" pointed out that some of the letters are forward and some are backward. Dylan created a grid using only the forward letters as one option of fitting the pieces together. Good job. The whole forum is now anagraming those letters, including me. Still, I think that my time might be better spent figuring out all the options for laying out the chessboard. The options are few, considering the size, color, and shapes of the known pieces. Must anagram this before anyone else does!
