Template:Chess/board
This template allows editors to easily insert chessboards showing different positions. Chessboards can be rendered from a moves list (in algebraic notation, i.e. PGN) or a FEN code.
The chessboards are rendered using CSS grids.
Usage
Chess/board needs only a move list in algebraic notation or a FEN to render the board. Moves should go into the moves parameter and a FEN into the fen parameter.
{{Chess/board |moves=1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5}}
{{Chess/board |fen=r1bqkbnr/pppp1ppp/2n5/1B2p3/4P3/5N2/PPPP1PPP/RNBQK2R}}
An optional caption can be added with caption.
{{Chess/board |moves=1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5| caption=The Spanish opening.}}
Styling
Chess/board supports several options for styling via the following parameters
- frame (boolean) imitates wikicode-style image frames. Default is false.
- float (left, right, inline-start, inline-end, or none) accepts CSS float values to position the chessboard. Default is none.
- size (numeric) sets scale of chessboard. Default is 1. 2 is twice as big, 0.5 is half as big, and so on.
- scheme sets the colour scheme. Currently supported are brown (default) orange, green and bw.
Further options are planned.
