[comp.text.tex] Typesetting Chess

daved@cbnewsl.att.com (david.dougherty) (07/20/90)

A couple of days ago, I snatched the chess fonts off of ymir.claremont.edu,
built them, and testfont'd them; I'm impressed! Does anybody know of a set
of TeX (or LaTeX) macros for typesetting chess using the aforementioned
fonts? Ideally, I would be interested in something like what Rubinstein de-
monstrated in TUGBOAT Volume 10, Number 3. That is, something like:

	\date{some date}
	\event{name of tournament}
	\players{white player}{black player}
	\opening{opening used}
	\initialposition
	\showboard
	\startplay
	e4	e5
	Nf3	Nc6
	\showboard
	\begincommentary
		.
		.
		.
	\endcommentary
	\startplay
	Bc4	Nf6
	o-o	Nxe4
	Re1
	\showboard
	\startplay
	...	Nf6
	Nxe5	Nxe5
	Rxe5+	Be7
	\showboard
	\vfil\eject\bye
	
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!
