Syntax
සංස්කරණයThere are several standard chess diagram templates:
- Template:Chess diagram (square size 26x26 px)
- Template:Chess diagram small (square size 22x22 px)
- Template:Chess diagram 5x5; Template:Chess diagram 6x6 (bigger, 26px squares; can be used either for smaller sections of the board or Minichess and Los Alamos chess)
There are also templates for chess variants:
- Template:Chess diagram 8x10 (Capablanca chess with ten columns, 26x26 px)
- Template:Chess diagram 10x10 (Grand Chess)
- Template:Bughouse chess diagram (two standard boards side-by-side for four players in Bughouse chess)
- Template:Alice chess diagram (two standard boards side-by-side for two players in Alice chess)
- Template:Raumschach diagram (5x5x5 board for Three-dimensional chess, 22x22 px)
- Template:Omega Chess diagram (Omega Chess with 10x10 board + 4 corners, 22x22 px)
The syntax is basically the same for all of them.
{{Chess diagram

}}
Parameters:
<alignment>– defines horizontal alignment (floating) of the whole table, must betrightortleft(or nothing)<header>– the text which appears above the diagram, may be empty;<a8>, <b8>, ... <h1>– define corresponding squares of the chessboard, see below;<footer>– the text which appears beneath the diagram, may be empty; optional – can be left out (currently not in the other templates)
A square is defined by the name of piece or empty parameter. The names of the pieces are those given in algebraic notation:
k = king
q = queen
r = rook
b = bishop
n = knight
p = pawn
There are also some fairy chess pieces available:
a = archbishop (knight + bishop compound)
c = chancelor (knight + rook compound)
f = upside-down king
g = upside-down queen
m = upside-down rook
e = upside-down bishop
s = upside-down knight
h = upside-down pawn
z = champion (for Omega Chess)
w = wizard (for Omega Chess)
These letters are combined with either "l" for Light=White, or "d" for Dark=Black. So "kl" is White's king, and "nd" is Black's knight.
An empty square is written either using underscores, spaces, or nothing at all. Two spaces are recommended.
<space> = empty square
You can also use "xx" for a cross, "xo" for a black circle on an empty square or "oo" for a white one.
xx = cross/x
xo = black circle
oo = white circle
Numbers can also be added to squares by using "x1" for 1, "x2" for 2, ..., "x9" for 9. There is no 0.
x1
x2
x3
x4
x5
x6
x7
x8
x9
Examples
සංස්කරණයIn the following examples the rows and columns are numbered. Because any text between "|=" and the next "|" is ignored, numbers and letters can be added without affecting output.

See the corresponding code below. If you don't want the captions, just remove them, but don't delete the second "|" pipe character for the caption above; it is possible to delete the last pipe for the longer caption below.
The diagram floats to the left to illustrate the use of the first parameter.
