\mylanguage english
%i ve tried to enable input of the language typical letters for the different pieces. By now there 
%are letters defined for: 
%
%"german" (King=F, Advisor/Guard=M, Elephant=E, Chariot=W, Cannon=K, Horse=P, Soldier=S - for red pieces
% and corresponding lower cases for black pieces) 
%"english" (K,A,E,R,C,H,P); 
%"spanish" (R,O,E,T,B,C,P); 
%"italian" (R,M,E,T,B,C,P); 
%"french" (R,M,E,T,B,C,P);  
%"czech" (K,R,S,V,D,J,P) and 
%"dutch" (G,A,O,T,K,P,S)
%
%If you want to add your language or do not like the letters I used goto xq.sty and use the pattern 
%to define the letter definitions according to your preferences. Please rename the style file, if you 
%make any changes. 
%This selection affects on the one hand the letters for the pieces when setting up a position in the 
%input file and on the other hand the letters for pieces shown in the move blocks in the output file.

\texttt{First we write down a complete game.}
\newgame
%defines the board with the start position, the movecount, shown in the move blocks, is set to 0.

\begin{center}
{\bf\large{Player\,1\,--\,Player\,2}}
\end{center}

\move f1e2 h8e8 
%note that there is absolutely no check for legal moves - this means, that on the one hand any piece can move to any place, even to the place it comes from and on the other hand a piece moved from/to a place that does not exist on the board will not be shown, selecting an empty square as start square produces an error - so everything has to be correct here
\bigskip
\texttt{Moves are input like this: "\textbackslash{}move f1e2 h8e8". The letter of the piece moved is generated automatically and also, whether it is a capture or not. The piece letters shown depend on the language, you choose at the beginning of the .tex file, in this case it is "english". By now there are letters defined for English, Spanish, French, Italian, Czech, Dutch and my mother tongue: German. I created a pattern in the style file, where you can add your language typical letters, if the ones already defined do not match your preferences.} \\
