I don't know MyTcl or how .exe files it builds compare to tclkits. I can 
tell you that to make a package available to a tclkit app, simply copy it 
into a subdirectory of chess.vfs\lib
It might be that img::png is available on your system, but is not being 
built into chess.exe by MyTcl.

You will need a tclkit.exe that supports whatever Tcl and Tk features you 
have used in your scripts. Generally features from a recent version can be 
added to an older version using packages, but it is often easier and neater 
to just use the newest version. To solve your PNG problem : 8.6 introduces 
native support for PNGs without needing img::png, or for an older tclkit, 
copy the img package into chess.vfs\lib\img (note - a full 'img' package 
will have .dlls for all sorts of image formats - you can leave out any that 
aren't relevant to PNG to make a smaller .exe)
