Mightn't it be wiser to use # for mate (and not ++)?

==Coordinates==

Excellent page! What's missing are coordinates on the images, so the lay reader knows where e7 is. Or could that be done by colour-coding, as in "the queen could now move to the red square"? [[User:Thore|Thore]] 12:16, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:I'm glad you like the page.  Please feel free to take it in whatever direction seems appropriate.  I agree that the images should have coordinates, but I added the images way back when it was still a novelty to have images at all.  Doesn't Wikipedia now have a script for encoding chess positions in a way that folks can modify them?  I've quite fallen out of touch of late, not editing anything but [[Arimaa]], so I'd be happy if someone else brought this old article up to date.  Thanks --[[User:Fritzlein|Fritzlein]] 17:30, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)


:Done. I've changed this over to the new "Chess diagram" template. [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Standard_chess_diagram Chess diagram appears to be the new standard for chess diagrams on Wikipedia].  And it so happens that "chess diagram" shows the coordinates. Chess diagram also displays better on some systems; on my system, the old "chess position" has garbage lines between the rows, and Chess Diagram displays correctly. -- [[User:Dwheeler|Dwheeler]] 18:06, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
