[edit] Title

WikiProject Chess

[edit] 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.

{{Chess-WikiProject}}, infra, should be added to the talk page of any chess-related article, in order that the WikiProject might find articles on the improvement of which to focus.

This page is part of a WikiProject to improve Wikipedia's articles related to chess.
Please participate by editing this article or portal or visiting the project page or its discussion page.

  • ThreeE Would like to see the development of a opening theory wiki. I have started one over at the Chess wikibook.
  • JWHPryor I'd like to see some stuff done for the opening theory as well. I could give some info on d4 openings. Also willing to help with the LaTeX.

  • I've been playing chess for 6 years. I'm a C-class player and unofficial captain of my school's chess team. My style is based on Jeremy Silman's book The Amatuer's Mind, and I'm weak with tactics. I have a real passion for chess, but unfortunately, I'm not an expert, and I'm not sure how much I can contribute to chess-related articles. Still, I'm interested, so I'm joining the WikiProject first and asking questions about working on chess articles later. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 04:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
