		      Chess fonts and a chess style
                      -----------------------------
                       (Version 1.1 / November 1990)

This is version 1.1 of my chessfonts (chess10, chess20, chess30 and
chessfig10) for typesetting chess with LaTeX and/or TeX. This new version
contains improved fonts, a chess style file (chess.sty) complete with
documentation. The documentation is the LaTeX version of the article as it
will appear in TUGboat and the complete game Fisher played against Tal in
the Candidates Tournament of 1959 (from the book `My 60 memorable games',
Bobby Fisher). It also contains an example of `Schaakmaatje' (the chess
magazine of my chessclub Schaakclub Geldrop).  This Schaakmaatje (in Dutch)
contains a chess challenge (schaaktest). It is one of the games Max Euwe
played agains Bobby Fisher. The challenge consists of finding the best moves
for White. The number of points you earn, gives an impression of your
playing strength. It can also serve as a start to create a magazine for your
chess club with LaTeX.

Have a lot of chess writing and playing fun!

On ymir some of the files have been renamed, moved and/or deleted. The
macros are available from [anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-contrib]. TFM
and PK files at this time are not provided (but may be added if the
need for printing chess diagrams arises locally). The torture-test.*
files have been renamed to chess-sty-test.*. In general, the
directories listed above are no longer valid. Except as noted, all
files are in this directory.
