jPieces = new String[8][8];
                jPieces[0][0] = "bRook";
                jPieces[0][1] = "bKnight";
                jPieces[0][2] = "bBishop";
                jPieces[0][3] = "bQueen";
                jPieces[0][4] = "bKing";
                jPieces[0][5] = "bBishop";
                jPieces[0][6] = "bKnight";
                jPieces[0][7] = "bRook";
                jPieces[1][0] = "bPawn";

point taken, post amended (but it was amusing writing/posting it)

Please BeNice.. There is no need to be condescending. Not everybody is as good as you or I

sorry to all of you...
it happened only because it was my first post....in future it will never happened..
thank you...

but anyone please help me to develop chess game....that how i should have to select the particular chess pieces ....

thank you

Code looks good to me. I mean it "should" print out the Strings. So where did you not get the String? Whats the output you get?

@sam Mercs: thank you very much sir.....
it gives the output like
"
bRook
bPawn
null
null
null
null
wRook
wPawn

exception in thread "main" java.lang.arrayindexofboundexception
"

bt i think it should have to print all the elements of array like bRook,bKnight,bBishop...etc

No exception in the code you provided. Maybe the exception is because of some other part in the code.
