Title

WikiProject Chess

Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to present all the wikipedia articles about chess in a coherent fashion. This includes the coherence of the following aspects:

  • Chess diagrams
  • Annotation of chess games
  • Notation

Note that according to the Wikimedia commons, the current "standard" for Chess diagrams on Wikipedia is the chess diagram template; see the link for more information.

Having uniform chess diagrams will be easy once LaTeX chess support is here. Word has it that it will soon be implemented on wikipedia. It is already implemented on http://wikisophia.org. For Examples see [1] & [2]. At the moment there is a problem with security risk, hopefully this will get sorted out. The other problem will be displaying diagrams with arrows as are present in Chess strategy and tactics — for the time being they'll probably just have to remain pictures.

However, one of the more useful activies, chess games interspersed with commentary, should be possible with unlimited diagrams.

Parentage

The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Sports.
