Yes, this is what I’ve proposed.

Alternatively, a system that uses no Variation selectors and only relies on Opentype ligatures might work even better.

This would require one Empty and one Filled board cell, to ligate with whatever piece is supposed to sit on top of it. The use of Empty / Filled board cell would result in the correct metrics and by encoding an empty cell that is different from a "white square", there's no need to overload the use of the latter.
