* [[Template:Chess diagram small]] (square size 22x22 px)
* [[Template:Chess diagram 4x4]] (square size 26x26 px)
* [[Template:Chess diagram 4x5]] (square size 26x26 px)

* For other board sizes, use {{((}}#invoke:[[Module:Chessboard mxn|chessboard mxn]]|board|cols{{=}}|rows{{=}}
There are also templates for [[chess variant]]s:

* [[Template:3D chess diagram]] (3x8x8 board for some types of [[Three-dimensional chess]], 22x22 px)

=== Syntax ===
The syntax is basically the same for all chess diagram templates.

<pre>
{{Chess diagram
| <alignment> (param #1)
| <header>    (#2) 
| size =
| numbers =
| letters =
| <a8> | <b8> | ... | <h8>  (#3 to ...
| <a7> | <b7> | ... | <h7>
...
| <a1> | <b1> | ... | <h1>  ( ... #66)
| <footer> (#67)
| reverse = 
}}
</pre>

Parameters:

* <code><alignment></code> – defines horizontal alignment (floating) of the whole table, must be <code>tright</code> or <code>tleft</code> (or nothing)
* <code><header></code> – the text which appears above the diagram, may be empty;
* <code>size</code> - specifies the size of each square in pixels, the default is 26.
* <code>numbers</code> - specifies whether the rows are numbered. Options are: ''left'', ''right'', ''both'' (default) or ''neither''.
* <code>letters</code> - specifies whether the columns are lettered. Options are: ''top'', ''bottom'', ''both'' (default) or ''neither''.
* <code><a8>, <b8>, ... <nowiki><h1></nowiki></code> – define corresponding squares of the chessboard, see below;
* <code><footer></code> – the text which appears beneath the diagram, may be empty; optional – can be left out (currently not in the other templates)

A square is defined by the name of piece or empty parameter. The names of the pieces are those given in algebraic notation:

* [[Image:Chess kll45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess kld45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess kdl45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess kdd45.svg|26px]] k = king
* [[Image:Chess qld45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess qll45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess qdd45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess qdl45.svg|26px]] q = queen
* [[Image:Chess rll45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess rld45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess rdl45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess rdd45.svg|26px]] r = rook
* [[Image:Chess bld45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess bll45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess bdd45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess bdl45.svg|26px]] b = bishop
* [[Image:Chess nll45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess nld45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess ndl45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess ndd45.svg|26px]] n = knight
* [[Image:Chess pld45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess pll45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess pdd45.svg|26px]] [[Image:Chess pdl45.svg|26px]] p = pawn

These letters are combined with either "l" for Light=White, or "d" for Dark=Black. So "kl" is White's king, and "nd" is Black's knight. 

An empty square is written either using underscores, spaces, or nothing at all. Two spaces are recommended.

* [[Image:Chess d45.svg|26px]][[Image:Chess l45.svg|26px]] <space> = empty square

It may be convenient to use this in the articles on chess problems. Please note that in the header and footer you can use '''bolds''' or ''italics''. You can also use <code>&lt;br></code> to break the lines.

See the corresponding code below. If you don't want the captions, just remove them, but don't delete the second "|" pipe character for the caption above; it is possible to delete the last pipe for the longer caption below.

The diagram floats to the left to illustrate the use of the first parameter.

==Alternative way to place the pieces: FEN==
<pre>
{{Chess diagram|fen=rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR|align=tleft}}
</pre>
{{Chess diagram|fen=rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR|align=tleft}}
It is possible to populate the board using [[Forsyth–Edwards Notation]], instead of positional parameters. 

To do this, the "fen" parameter is used. For instance, this is the opening board of a chess game, defined using the "fen" parameter "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR":
{{-}}
<pre>
{{Chess diagram|fen=rnbqkbnr/acfghzwt/8/8/8/8/ACFGHZWT/RNBQKBNR|align=tleft}}
</pre>
{{Chess diagram|fen=rnbqkbnr/acfghzwt/8/8/8/8/ACFGHZWT/RNBQKBNR|align=tleft}}
It is also possible to show "fairy" pieces using the FEN notation. However, because the FEN notation uses uppercase and lowercase to denote the color of the piece, it is not possible to display the inverted knight fairy piece (denoted by "N") using the fen parameter. Here is a board where the pawns are replaced by fairy pieces:
{{-}}
Only 8x8 boards can use the "fen" parameter. For other size boards, positional parameters should be used.

== Displaying the board from the Black's point of view ==
<pre>
{{Chess diagram|fen=rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR|align=tleft|reverse=true}}
</pre>
{{Chess diagram|fen=rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR|align=tleft|reverse=true}}
The "reverse=true" parameter causes the board to be shown from Black's point of view, that is, with the h8 square at lower-left corner, and a1 at the upper-right. This works for all sizes of the normal chessboard template, but not for the Alice, Bughouse, Omega, or Raumschach templates.  Here, the same FEN notation as in the previous example produces a board with Black's starting position at the bottom.
