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). + |
