Put latex in your printer?

(Honestly, I have no idea. I’m sure that I misread your question.)

printing to latex.  I wanted to see what would be the best way. I have chessbase, would be nice to go from chessbase to latex.

You can export games from ChessBase as simple text files. These would probably work in LaTeX.

I don't know anything about the LaTeX software, and I use an old version of ChessBase.

Here's a sample of ChessBase text export:

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.c4 c6 4.e3 Why choose the second most popular move? In this case, my intention was to gain experience. I seem to recall also that my opponent's statistics showed that he sometimes faltered against this line in the past. [4.Nc3 has been my normal move OTB, but I have played others.] 4...Bg4 5.h3 Bxf3 6.Qxf3 I had the Black side of this position in two blitz games nearly twenty years ago, but this game was was my first experience from the White side. 6...e6 7.Bd3 PowerBook shows a 62% scoring percentage for White. 7...Nbd7 8.Nc3 Bd6 9.cxd5 exd5 10.g4 Still playing the percentages. 66.7% for White. 10...Nb6 My opponent chooses an obscure move that has produced a handful of draws. The percentages no longer have any significance: too few games. 11.g5 [11.Bd2 was the alternative and I examined four games where this move had been played.] 11...Nfd7 Two preious games games reached this position. 12.e4 12.h4 led to a win for White. 12.e4 led to a draw. However, 12.e4 looked more promising to me because the imbalance in the reference game seemed to offer better prospects for seeking a win. [12.h4 Qe7 13.Bd2 Nc4 14.Bxc4 dxc4 15.Ne4 Bb4 16.a3 Bxd2+ 17.Nxd2 Qe6 1-0 Dvirnyy,D (2543)-Gomez,J (2492)/Baku AZE 2016/The Week in Chess 1140 (72) and White went on to win a long game.] 12...dxe4 [12...c5 13.dxc5 Bxc5] 13.Qxe4+ [13.Bxe4 might be better, according to postgame engine analysis. I probably looked at it, but opted to follow my reference game. More often than not in my correspondence experience, my opoonent deviates from a single reference game before I do. Sometimes the novelty is an error.;
My notes show that I considered 13.Nxe4 Bb4+ 14.Nc3] 13...Qe7 14.Qxe7+ I chose to continue following the reference game. [14.Be3 Qxe4 15.Bxe4 0-0-0;
14.0-0 0-0-0 would have led to an interesting battle, but I thought Black was better.;
14.a4 was also a move that I considered] 14...Bxe7 15.Be3 0-0-0N Now we are on our own. [15...Rd8 16.0-0-0 Nf8 17.h4 Ne6 18.Be2 Nc7 White's isolani may become weak and it is hard to see how the bishop pair will prove advantageous. ½-½ Likavsky,T (2494)-Antoniewski,R (2510)/Austria 2008/EXT 2009 (69)] 16.0-0-0 [16.0-0 strikes me as a candidate move, as does 16.a4 with the same idea: storm the opponent's castled king while withstanding the same from him.] 16...g6 17.h4 Nf8 Even though we have departed from theory, this knight maneuver has been played before. It makes sense to bring pressure upon White's queen pawn. 18.Kb1 I was not sure how to proceed, so I made a waiting move. 18...Ne6 19.Be4 Is d4-d5 a threat? I'm not certain. 19...Nd5?! I do not think that opening the c-file is in Black's interest. However, after this move my d-pawn becomes slightly less vulnerable, I may be able to use the c-file for my rooks, and Black also gets an isolated pawn. 20.Nxd5 cxd5 21.Bf3 Kb8 22.Bg4 I want to push my f-pawn 22...Bd6 23.Rd3 Nf4? 24.Bxf4 I happily give up the bishop pair for gain of a pawn. 24...Bxf4 25.Rf3 Bc7 26.Re1! Black's f-pawn is going nowhere. I will get a pig. [26.Rxf7 Rdf8 27.Rxf8+ Rxf8 28.f3 looked drawish to me.] 26...Bb6 [26...Rhe8 27.Rxe8 Rxe8 28.Rxf7 Rh8 29.Be6] 27.Rxf7 Bxd4 [27...Rdf8 28.Ree7 Rxf7 29.Rxf7 Bxd4 30.Be6] 28.Ree7 I like my position, but I don't think my opponent should resign so soon. 1-0

!! thanks.

Or, perhaps, LaTeX would do better with PGN import.
