Other than that, all of black pieces are just guesses, as they all look similar to each other.

The black piece on D5 doesn't seem to have a twin, and people have guessed it to be the knight, with the other knight the only captured black piece, but as all black pieces are on black squares, the captured piece is likely to be black's light square bishop.

This means we know the position of all of white's pieces.

A1 is the largest white piece other then possibly the piece being held by satan, so I think A1 is the white queen.

D4 is a large female black piece, so is likely the black queen.

D2 and H1 look like the same piece and are likely white rooks.

White has pieces on A1, D2, H1, and 4 visibly captured, 0 missing.

Black has pieces on A5, C7, D4, F6, G5, G2, and 1 visibly captured, 0 missing.

White pawns on A2, D3, and 5 visibly captured.

Black pawns on A3, B6, E4, F7, G6, H2, and 1 visibly captured.

Pawns are obviously the small ones, but pay attention to the tails of the black pawns, as the Kenilworthian article didn't see the black pawns behind many pieces.

Kings look like the players, so are definitely on D1 and D8.

This is the best representation of the board as I could guess from from looking at the painting.
