Branch: pkgsrc-2011Q3, Version: 1.5, Package name: tex-skak-1.5, Maintainer: minskim

This package provides macros and fonts in MetaFont format which
can be used to typeset chess games using PGN, and to show diagrams
of the current board in a document. The package builds on work by
Piet Tutelaers -- the main novelty is the use of PGN for input
instead of the more cumbersome coordinate notation (g1f3 becomes
the more readable Nf3 in PGN). An Adobe Type 1 implementation of
skak's fonts is available as package skaknew; an alternative chess
notational scheme is available in package texmate, and a general
mechanism for selecting chess fonts is provided in chessfss.
