Not to be a pedantic ass, but ASCII has a very specific definition, and a handful of control codes and characters. It does _not_ mean anything in a terminal, just bytes 0-127. It very much does not include chess glyphs.
If you mean text or terminal, you should probably say so.
It's kind of like saying that a sleeping bag is the same thing as a giant hotel.

ASCII Chessboard, No HTML Required — Sometimes, when I have absolutely nothing to do, I play with ASCII characters in vim. Today I made an ASCII chess board with black and white chess pieces. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to make an ascii chessboard and I won't be the last. I thought it looks pretty nice so I wanted to share it on my blog.
