I'm coding a chess computer and I need some pointers on how to create a decent board interface. What I have right now is 64 labels with numbers to represent pieces (1 for a white pawn, 2 for a white knight, and so on). I want real looking pieces with drag'n'drop to move them. (This is purely a question about graphics, the internal stuff and how the board communicates with the internal is no problem.)

(edit: actually, just reading about dragging and dropping may give me what I need. Maybe not, just thought I'd mention that.)
