%   These are two TeX macros which may be useful for writing about
% chess.  \bore creates a chess diagram from Forsyth notation, with
% Z used as a terminator.  For example,
% 
%   $$\bore r1bqkbnr pppp1ppp 2n5 1B2p3 4P3 5N2 PPPP1PPP RNBQK2R Z$$
%
% shows the Ruy Lopez after white's third move.
%
% \VAR (number) (moves separated by spaces) Z may be used to write
% a variation.  The macro inserts the move numbers, starting with 
% (number).  For example,
%
%     Continuing from the diagram above, \VAR 3 \dots{} a6 Ba4 Nf6 O--O
%     Be7 Re1 b5 Bb3 O-O c3 d5 Z is the Marshall gambit.
%
%  Note the \dots{} to indicate that Black made the first move.
%
%  The diagrams created by \bore have pieces made up of a small number
% of rectangles.  Much nicer diagrams and more powerful macros were
% created by Piet Tutelaers, available  by anonymous ftp
% at sol.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.5).  However, the ones offered here
% do not require additional fonts, and may be easier to use.
%
%   I authorize circulation of these macros by ftp sites and similar
% nonprofit media.  Improvements are welcome.  An earlier version of
% the macros (with letters for pieces) was done several years ago, 
% with substantial modifications by Steve Cochran.

%
% \fun is the fundamental length unit for the diagrams.  If you
% replace 1.2pt by something else, the scale is changed.
% The box rf is not used, except to provide something with which to

%   Black pieces are made from solid boxes of specified height and
% width (the \filbox macro).  For White pieces, \filbox is replaced by a
% macro (\blbox) which draws the lines around the border of such a box.
%   (the white knight is an exception to this)
% The macro \tbo is defined as \blbox or \filbox as needed.
