Can't draw .jpeg on a JPanel - image

Question

I'm working on a Game where I need to draw a board and pawns actively when I move them. I've searched for a few hours now, but I can't find a solution.
They're located in the same folder as the classes.
Thanks in advance for any help :)
code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyPanel extends JPanel{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
try {
Image board = new ImageIcon("images/ChackerBoard.jpeg").getImage();
Image black = new ImageIcon("images\\BlackPawn.jpeg").getImage();
Image white = new ImageIcon("images\\WhitePawn.jpeg").getImage();
this.setSize(320, 320);
g.drawImage(board, 0, 0, this);
for (int i = 0; i < Game.BlackList.size(); i++) {
g.drawImage(black, (Game.BlackList.get(i).GetX() * 40) - 36, (Game.BlackList.get(i).GetY() * 40) - 36, this);
}
for (int i = 0; i < Game.WhiteList.size(); i++) {
g.drawImage(white, (Game.WhiteList.get(i).GetX() * 40) - 36, (Game.WhiteList.get(i).GetY() * 40) - 36, this);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Answer 1

#FailX in paintComponent, imageobserver object is null. Set the image observer as "this" and it works.
#Override
protected void paintComponent( Graphics g ){
super.paintComponent( g );
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this); //Image is also drawn
g.drawLine( 10, 10, 100, 50 ); //Line is drawn
g.draw3DRect(20,20,50,30,true); // Rectangle is drawn
}
