CTAN has a new package: xskak

The package below has been put up on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................

The main point of xskak is to save informations about a chess game for later use e.g. to loop through a game to make an animated board. It also extends the input that the parsing commands can handle and offers an interface to define and switch between indefinite levels of styles.
