I have played chess for about 20 years on and off
but have studied music theory for longer

That's neato, and reminds me of my MIDIChess project that I was streaming several days ago:

I like your idea of ranks being pitches in modes defined by the various files - mine uses ranks to determine the pitches and files to determine the octave and the mode is always minor/aeolian. While this has the advantage of a more consistent tonality it also has a perhaps overly large range of pitches to synthesize (8 octaves, one for each file). Also mine tries to feature a melody determined by when captures occur, though I'm having trouble getting MIDI instruments in a browser to sustain properly. Ah, well.

This had to to be done. Next step is to represent the different pieces and their properties in the possition. But how?

As a professional musician, I'd like to see this done the other way round. How would a piece of music translate into chess? :D

Hey. I am interested in this property. I have a program that produces music masterpieces. Interesting?
