Why in so many of these sets, Frodo is a bishop, and not the king, I have yet to figure out. After all, he moved one step at a time. And if Sauron had captured him-- game over!
Well, in a way, Sauron did capture Frodo when the orcs took him away from Shelob's "lair". Of course it did the Eye little good considering that Sam had the Ring at that point. Perhaps the Ring should be the King on one of the sides?

Besides, one of the things I liked about the above version is that the pawns on the "good guy" side are Sam....
I think since Frodo should be King, Sam should be Queen. Sam did do a good job of protecting Frodo and is almost as important as him in that way.
