# MPchess
This package allows you to draw chess boards and positions. The appearance of
the drawings is modern and largely inspired by what is offered by the excellent
web site [Lichess.org](lichess.org). Relying on METAPOST probably
allows more graphic flexibility than the excellent LaTeX packages.
_This package is in beta version, do not hesitate to report bugs, as well as
requests for improvement_.
## Installation
MPchess is on the [ctan](ctan.org) and can be installed via the package manager of your
distribution [https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mpchess](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mpchess).
### With TeX live under Linux or MacOS
To install MPchess with TeX live, you will have to create the directory texmf
directory in your home.
```bash
user $> mkdir ~/texmf
```
Then, you will have to place the .mp files in the
`~/texmf/tex/metapost/mpchess/`.
MPchess consists of 7 files METAPOST :
* `mpchess.mp`;
* `mpchess-chessboard.mp`;
* `mpchess-pgn.mp`;
* `mpchess-fen.mp`;
* `mpchess-cburnett.mp`;
* `mpchess-mpchess.mp`;
* `mpchess-skak.mp`.
Once this is done, MPchess will be loaded with the classic
```metapost
input mpchess
```
### With MikTEX and Windows
These two systems are unknown to the author of MPchess, so we refer to their
documentation to add local packages:
[http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html](http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html)
## Dependencies
MPchess depends on the packages METAPOST: `hatching` and, if MPchess is not
used with LuaLaTeX and luamplib, `latexmp`.
## Documentation
* [English documentation](doc/mpchess-doc-en.pdf)
* [Documentation en français](doc/mpchess-doc-fr.pdf)
## Licenses
This projet is under LATEX Project Public License 1.3c but the file
`mpchess-cburnett` is under GPLv2+ as asked by the author.
