Specify spare pieces

[Tjorriemorrie]

Just to confirm: is it not possible to specify spare pieces? It seems you can only pass boolean parameter.

Correct; you cannot specify which pieces show up as spare currently.

I would like to add that feature; any advice on where to begin or the section of code is?

In chessboard-0.3.0.js look under the heading Markup Building for the function buildSparePieces.

function buildSparePieces(color) {
  var pieces = ['wK', 'wQ', 'wR', 'wB', 'wN', 'wP'];
  if (color === 'black') {
    pieces = ['bK', 'bQ', 'bR', 'bB', 'bN', 'bP'];
  } ...

Delete whichever pieces you don't want. For example, remove 'wR', to remove the white rook.
