X% This is a set of macros to be used with plain TeX to print out
X% a diagram of a chess position. The control sequence \bone
X% takes as input the Forsyth notation for a position, followed by
X% EEZ as a terminator. Forsyth notation describes the position
X% one row at a time, with capital letters for white pieces, small
X% letters for black pieces, and uses numbers for empty squares.
X% For example, to print the diagram after Black's third move in Ruy:
X%
X% \bone r1bqkbnr 1ppp1ppp p1n5 1B2p3 4P3 5N2 PPPP1PPP RNBQK2R EEZ
X%
X% Similarly, \btwo can be used to print two adjacent diagrams---
X% you give the Forsyth for one position, then EEZ, then the Forsyth
X% for the other followed by a second EEZ.
X%
X% To run these macros on your system you may have to modify the
X% \font instruction indicated below.
X%
X% The bad thing is that this program seems to be a memory hog. If
X% I try to print more than three or four diagrams in a letter, I
X% start getting "memory capacity exceeded" messages. I'm using
X% PCTEX and have gotten around the problem by using the /m=65000
X% option described on pages I-18 and I-19 of the installation guide.
X%
X% Improvements for the memory problem or the appearance of the
X% diagrams are welcome.
X%
X% As a bonus, the macro \VAR can be used to number the moves of
X% a variation. Suppose, for example, you want to list moves from
X% the Schliemann defence to the Ruy, starting with move 3. Type
X%
X% \VAR 3 B--N5 P--B4 N-B3! N-B3 PxP B-B4 O-O O-O Z [Z=terminator]
X%
X% and you get 3 B-N5 P-B4 4 N-B3! N-B3 and so forth. [also works
X% with algebraic notation. Sequence of moves from Fine's Practical
X% Chess Openings.] Unfortunately, this also has memory problems---
X% my machine complains if the variation is longer than ten moves.
