chess diagrams on A6 cards using LaTeX - 2/2
In the first part I wrote: ``put to a template in your favourite text processor''. Attached is a template (class-file) for LaTeX and an example, the explanations are below.
It seems that skak is the package to typeset chess using LaTeX. (See also an earlier post, ``chess publishing in latex, starting''.)
Unfortunately, sometimes skak ignores castling moves. I'm going to produce a minimal example and submit a bug report. But at the moment, in case case of such error, use the command \fenboard to correct a position.
My class diakarte imports skak and defines two new commands:
\therest{...}: the argument is centered horizontally using \centerline and then centered vertically in the rest of the text flow.
\restcomment{...}: the argument is centered horizontally using \centerline and then attached to the previous \therest.
Something like this:
\therest{\showboard}
\restcomment{What now?}
A complete example demonstrates also advanced usage. It is included in the zip-file with diakarte package.
If you've found the package useful, please drop me a note in comments.
