## CONTENTS AND INSTALLATION
- README.md (this file)
- chessboard.dtx
- chessboard.ins
- chessboard.pdf
The best is to install chessboard with the package manager of your texsystem.
For manual installation compile the .ins file. This will create chessboard.sty, chessboard-keys-main.sty
chessboard-keys-pgf.sty and chessboard-pgf.sty.
Move the four .sty in <texmf>/tex/latex/chessboard/ and update the filename
database. Put chessboard.pdf in doc/latex/chessboard/
The dtx-file doesn't contain any documentation.
So running LaTeX on it makes no sense!
## DOCUMENTATION
chessboard.pdf. There isn't a source for the documentation as it use some
local fonts and styles.
## DESCRIPTION
This package offers commands to print chessboards. It can print partial boards,
hide pieces and fields, color the boards and put various marks on the board.
It has a lot of options to place pieces on the board. Using exotic pieces e.g. for
fairy chess is possible.
It can be used together with the newest version (1.4) of the skak package
which you can find at CTAN and together with xskak.
## REQUIREMENTS
chessboard uses some primitives of e\TeX. It needs a recent version
of chessfss and xkeyval. It also needs the packages xifthen, tikz, pgfcore and pgfbaseshapes (from the pgf bundle),
and - if run with latex - pst-node (from pstricks).
