Change fonts with `chessfss`

Question

I would like to change font for the chess symbols, but it doesn't work.
I have tried to copy the code on the documentation of chessfss but with doesn't work.
Can you help me, please? Herewith, my minimal example. (In the document where this is going to be used I use XeLaTeX).
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
documentclass{article}

usepackage{chessfss}

begin{document}

setfigfontfamily{maya}
setboardfontsize{20pt}
boardfont
KkQkRrBbNnPp

end{document}

If you want to select a figurine font you should use figfont not boardfont. But the  pfb-files for maya are not in the enpassant package on CTAN (due to licensing reasons), you would have to create them manually. With e.g. pirat you can do this:
documentclass{article}

usepackage{chessfss}
pdfmapfile{=chess-enpassant.map} %perhaps needed ...
begin{document}
{setfigfontfamily{pirat}
 figfont
 KQRBNP}

{setboardfontfamily{pirat}
 boardfont
 KkQkRrBbNnPp}

end{document}
