[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX Template for Drawing Chess Rules in Iconic Manner

Question

Chess game is very old. The rules are difficult for a beginner.
Iconic overview of chess rules is a great advantage for beginners.
Would you know a cool template to print rules with tikz ?

There is so far no example of first work.
anyhow first attempt:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chessboard}
\usepackage{skak}
\begin{document}
\setchessboard{showmover=false}
\newgame
\chessboard
\end{document}

Ideally, would be to have the TIKZ source for making separate pieces queen, king,… without chessboard package.

herewith a nice rule overview. It is easy to understand since there are pics of pieces + arrows. Schematics are awesome for everyone.

Answer 1

The chessfss package provides the useful possibility to access the chess pieces by their name, which you can use to draw the rules in tikz. One example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[LSBC5,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{chessfss}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}

\setboardfontencoding{LSBC5}

\begin{tikzpicture}
    \node at (-1,0) {\WhiteRookOnWhite}; 
    \draw[<->] (-0.5,0) -- (0.5,0);
    \draw[<->] (0,-0.5) -- (0,0.5);
    \fill[white] (-0.2,-0.2) rectangle (0.2,0.2);
    \node at (0,0) {\footnotesize R};
\end{tikzpicture}


\end{document}
