See Appelt in TUGboat 9.3 and Rubinstein in TUGboat 10.2; also see the
chess font which Adobe gave away (via Glenn Reid I think?) a while
back. What macros you use depends on the style of notation you are
into; I have an implementation of notation like:
move e2-24 move c7-c6
move c2-c4 move d7-d5
copying Appelt; and Michael Downes has prepared a much more elaborate
system which implements:
26. Nxe6 Qf3
27. d5 Rxe6
28. Rxe6 Qxg3+
29. Qg2 Qxe1+
30. Rxe1 Rxe1+
If you have a PostScript printer, I can send you (or anyone else
reading this), the macros and font. But BEWARE - a) my macros are
rough (I am not a chessite, I only did it for a demo), and b) Downes
is still working on it (mail mjd@math.ams.com).
