Colour issues with new board visuals #150

The new board visuals introduce some issues where the colour of the squares interferes with the chessground UI. Including:

These are game-breaking issues. My preferred solution has two parts:

Amending the pieces should be easy as they're .svg files, which makes them easy to pull into something like Affinity Designer and change the colours. While I'm editing to fix the issues, I can also amend the pieces to look more consistent with the Chess 1.0 UI.

We might want to include custom square CSS settings for each of our boards, as in chessground.brown.css. Editing the SVGs for the pieces to have outlines sounds like the best approach for improving the pieces.

Outlines were another approach I considered; I think it's one of those things were we won't know if it looks good or not until we try it.
