I am writing a chess manuscript.

Hey guys!

I'm writing a chess manuscript on the purest fundamentals of the game. I am wondering if anyone knows how to insert chess diagrams into a word document.

I would like to insert diagrams after I can set up the pieces on the board. In other words....I don't want to insert an empty chess board.

Thanks!!!

Download a utility called epd2diag. (Fairly small, and free)

It allows you to set up positions, and export them in a gif format, which you can then insert into your document.

Thanks! Appreciate this a lot!

I create image files with Fritz and with a terrific utility I purchased for $25 called Chess Captor.

With Fritz:

I can vary the colors.

With Chess Captor:

Sometimes black and white is better, especially when I need to photocopy pages with diagrams.
