Re: [NTG-context] Draw chess board

Thanks Wolfgang The first link is very useful. I will took its idea. I really want to use metapost's scantoken to read sgf file directly, so it can easily be a cross-platform solution. I'm not interested in the LaTeX package. It's against my original intention because I want to draw the board by importing the sgf file rather than by myself. But now I think manually input could be an option. On 5/24/07, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hi

I love chess games, especially one kind of them which is generally called Go.

I know there is some file can store each details in one game: http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/

AFAIK, there is no module available to draw chess in ConTeXt now. I wanna do this by using MetaPost and fieldstack. But I don't know how to tell

the details of the sgf file. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

BTW, I don't like the name. It's invented by acient Chinese and it's called Weiqi. I think we can call it Siege Chess in English.

Hi Chen,

if you mean Go take a look at the following page:

There are also two packages on CTAN for LaTeX:
