After talking to several people about the chess set that I created, I wanted to post my Fusion files in case you can use them to make your own or learn something. Ultimately, I made this set on an 8L lathe and 770M with a microArc4 on it.
Pawn:
Here is a version of the pawn I made in PathPilot > Conversational, I ended up remaking this in Fusion to get a better profile.

Here is the Fusion360 file for this:

Knight:
This was a fun one that involved cutting a “loli-pop” on the lathe, then throwing it in a 4th axis/ collet block to cut the horse, then back on the lathe to part it off.

Queen:
This one was a wild one. This part involved Fusion360 to cut the profile, hacking PathPilot to get the crown, then a 4th axis to cut the castellations.

King:
Pretty straight forward part on the lathe, with the 4th axis for the cross on top.

Straight forward lathe part here.

Rook:
I think of this one as a queen lite. I used the same tooling and principles for this one.

I will pull the Rook and Queen face turning files off my lathe and update this post when I have a few minutes.
