The problem is that several symbols doesn't have Unicode counterparts, so we need to output them as two characters. In some cases it doesn't really fit the original.

\compensation command output isn't really ideal
The problem with Unicode characters is that especially smaller devices, like Kindle may not support all of them. In this case, there are two solutions. First is to request image generation for such characters. It can be requested if you put number 1 in the second column in the htf file:
'=∞' '1' 110
To ease the htf file editing and to find out which lines correspond to particular characters, you can generate font map for SkakNew font with the following Tex code:
\documentclass{article}
\input showfonts.4ht
\begin{document}
\showfonts
{SkakNew-Figurine}
{}
\end{document}
compile it with pdflatex.
The second way is to convert the SkakNew-Figurine.otf to woff format, which can be used on web pages and configure the chess characters to use this font. You need to install the helpers4ht bundle and use the following .cfg:
\RequirePackage{addfont4ht}
\Preamble{xhtml}
\AddFontFace{SkakNewFigurine}{SkakNew-Figurine}{SkakNew-Figurine.woff}{}
\Css{.SkakNew-Figurine-{font-family:"SkakNewFigurine",sans-serif;}}
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble
