This template displays a chess board, given a FEN. It was built with the intention of eventually replacing {{Chess diagram}}

parameters:

  • fen: the string representing the location of the pieces. supposedly, it will ignore the "tail end" of the FEN string that does not represent the actual pieces.
  • size: integer, represent the size of one square in pixels. optional - defaults to 26 (size=23 corresponds to "chess diagram small")
  • reverse: use true to show the board from the black's point of view.
  • align: can be "tleft" or "tright". default to "tleft"
  • header: text to show above the board
  • footer: text to show below the board


Some examples:
