Hi

Try Excel VBA Chess it's a 2 player hotseat version of the game:

It has piece images that allow the standard movement options plus castling, en passant and pawn promotion. You can see the code for how the image movement works in the VBE.

It is possible, but it might be easier to program by using unicode characters for the chess pieces rather than pictures.  That way the pieces would be associated with specific cells and the move rules would be easier to define.
