I'm going to program a 2 player chess game..

I don't now if use jLabel in a class for example pawn, and then when NEW a class a jLabel be newed in it or NOT..?
is it correct or I'm going the wrong way!?

One simple solution is to not move any components at all. Instead make a 2D grid of JLabels, say placed in a JPanel that uses GridLayout(8, 8), and rather than change JLabels, if you want to "move" a piece, simply change the ImageIcon held by involved the JLabels.
