Welcome to WikiProject Chess!

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better improve information on chess-related articles. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and/or see the list below.

Templates[edit]

One of the goals of WikiProject Chess is the uniform presentation of chess related articles. For this aim, a couple of templates have been created. See Category:Chess templates for a full list; the most useful ones are explained below.

Diagrams, annotation and notation[edit]

According to the Wikimedia commons, the current "standard" for Chess diagrams on Wikipedia is the chess diagram template. See Template:Chess_diagram for the template and Template_talk:Chess_diagram for instructions on how to use it. The Tool FEN2Wikipedia converts FEN to use the "chess diagram" template.

Bubba73 has written a Windows program to generate chess diagrams for Wikipedia articles. You can download it here. It is the first program on the download screen, either download WikiChessDiagram.zip and extract the EXE file or download WikiChessDiagram.EXEC and change the extension to ".exe". This new version 2.0 fixes some bugs and has some enhancements. It runs under Windows, and it automatically puts the code for a chess diagram in your clipboard, or you can copy and paste it. Select the piece on the left and then click on the square.

Having uniform chess diagrams will be easy once LaTeX chess support is here. Word has been for several years it that it will soon be implemented on Wikipedia. It is already implemented on http://wikisophia.org. For examples see [1] & [2][dead link]. At the moment there is a problem with security risk, hopefully this will get sorted out. The other problem will be displaying diagrams with arrows as are present in Chess tactics — for the time being they'll probably just have to remain pictures.

However, one of the more useful activities, chess games interspersed with commentary, should be possible with unlimited diagrams.

Template:HiddenMultiLine is handy for the captions of chess diagrams as it allows you to hide part of the caption, e.g. a game continuation or problem solution.

Biographies[edit]

A template has been created to display an infobox for chess players. See Template:Infobox_chess_player for an example and instructions on how to use it. The easy way to use it is copy an existing similar one.

A 'Infobox chess player' is already found on many pages like Mikhail Chigorin, Mikhail Botvinnik for dead people and for a living person Susan Polgar, Anatoly Karpov, etc. Where no photo of the player is available, Hans Berliner is a good example.

For external links, Template:fide for the FIDE rating card and Template:chessgames player for the link to the player's page at ChessGames.com are available. Other sites such as 365chess.com may be entered manually. The following are some of the external links that may be used for a player profile, using Viswanathan Anand as an example:

* {{fide|id=5000017|name=Viswanathan Anand}}
* {{Chessgames player|12088|Viswanathan Anand}}
* [http://www.365chess.com/players/Viswanathan_Anand Viswanathan Anand] chess games at 365Chess.com

* [http://main.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlMain.php?12465315 Viswanathan Anand] USCF profile

will be displayed as

There are perhaps still 1000 chess players to do, and it looks like there will be more than enough to do for quite some time. A full list of chess players is found here, although a shorter list like List of chess grandmasters might be more interesting to work through.

Openings[edit]

A template has been created to display an infobox for chess openings. See Template:Infobox chess opening for an example and instructions on how to use it. For a list of chess openings see List of chess openings and List_of_chess_topics#Opening_articles.

Barnstar[edit]

The template Template:Chess Barnstar has been created to be awarded to Wikipedians who have accomplished something great for the coverage of chess on Wikipedia.

Reviews and quality assessment[edit]

Assessment of an article as FA-class, A-class, GA-class or B-class is done via a formal review process. A review can also give insight and ideas on how to improve the article. Articles of lower quality (C, Start or Stub) do not need a formal review and can be quickly assessed by anyone who wishes to do so, using the criteria explained at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.

High-quality articles[edit]

Articles covered by WikiProject Chess that have successfully passed formal reviews for quality are:

Featured stars 2.png
Featured articles		 Symbol support vote.svg
Good articles
Chess Alekhine, Alexander Fischer, Bobby
First-move advantage in chess Anderssen, Adolf Lasker, Emanuel

The Turk Budapest Gambit Modern Benoni
Bughouse chess Nadanian, Ashot
Carlsen, Magnus Rules of chess

Endgame tablebase World Chess Championship 1972

FA-class review[edit]

The FA-class review process is described at Wikipedia:Featured articles. Before nominating the articles for FA-class, please undertake the following steps:

  1. Nominate the article for a GA-class review at Wikipedia:Good article nominations.
  2. At the end of the GA-class review, nominate the article for at least two peer reviews at Wikipedia:Peer review, asking the reviewers to prioritize checking the quality of prose.

Articles currently under review for FA-class are:

  • none

A-class review[edit]

Articles can be nominated and reviewed for A-class quality at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess/Review#Current candidates.

Articles currently under review for A-class are:

  • none

GA-class review[edit]

The process for articles to become GA-class is described here. Although GA-class is lower than A-class, a possible first step is to nominate the article to an A-class review first, as it will possibly get some comments quicker than through the formal GA process. If you wish to review an article, please follow the steps described at Wikipedia:Good article nominations. Articles currently under review for GA-class are:

  • none

Articles[edit]

... to create[edit]

  • Comparison_of_Chess_GUIs with respect to automatic analysis features, reliable sources should be found in chess periodicals or portals, at least Fritz, Chessmaster, Arena, SCID vs PC, LucasChess, Tarrasch should appear in rows, and different important features as found by the author, in columns
  • An article on what a tournament Crosstable is. Although there is a brief section on this in the Wikipedia Glossary of Chess, it is quite hard to find. An alternative suggestion is to add a new sub-section to Chess tournament, perhaps below 'format', e.g. titled 'reporting results', or similar.
A stencil for creating chess player articles can be found here.
  • We need an article on (dedicated) chess computers. Only the article on computer chess briefly mentions them, but the topic definitely deserves to have its own article (history, most important brands, etc.). There is a lot to say here. A good collection of links can be found at www.chesscomputers.org.

American chess journal | American Chess Magazine | Baltische Schachblaetter | Brüderschaft Deutsches Wochenschach | Chess Express | Columbia Chess Chronicle | Computerschach und Spiele | Der Schachfreund | Le Courrier des Échecs | L'Italia Scacchistica | Messaggero Scacchi | Northwest Chess | Panorama Szachowa | Peón de rey | Probleemblad | Schaak Magazine | Schach | Schach-Magazin 64 | StrateGems | Schweizerische Schachzeitung | Tidsskrift for Skak | The London Chess Fortnightly | The Philidorian | Torre & Cavallo Scacco!.

  • Several of the Years in chess (19xx in chess) before 1989 don't have their own article.
  • Richard Eales. A noted chess historian, he wrote Chess: The History of a Game (1985) and has been Head of History of Kent in Canterbury. Gaige says he is Richard Geoffrey Eales born in 1949. Tied for second in the 1970 British Championship, played for England. Olimpbase has in in the 1976 European Men's Chess Club Cup and the Richard G Eales page on chessgames.com has more details. I would create the page myself but I'd like at least one good source to add to these.

... to delete/listed for deletion[edit]

Articles listed here are added manually and may not include all articles up for deletion. See #Article alerts for an automated list.

... to merge[edit]

... to rename[edit]

  • Several sub-categories in Category:Chess titles need their titles editing for consistency and good English. For instance, Chess woman International Masters needs to be Chess woman international masters (as we use grandmasters, not Grandmasters in other titles). Also 'Grandmasters of chess composition' would be better than '... the chess compositions'). The word Chess is sometimes capitalised mid-title and other times not etc. etc. Also, if we accept WIM cat, shouldn't we also have an IM cat?
    • The IM category has been created.
I would suggest that Category:Chess international masters and the like would be the wrong direction, as International Master is universally capitalized, as is Woman International Master. With GM the practice is less consistent, and sometimes even (the abominable in my view) "Grand Master" is used. Perhaps more pressing is to make it clear that creation of the IM categories does not imply that all IMs (and certainly not all WIMs) meet WP:BIO requirements for inclusion.

... that are orphans[edit]

The following chess-related articles are currently marked as orphans: Aditi Soondarsingh, Danitza Vázquez, Erik Kislik, Four Fronts, Indira Bajt, Josep Tolosa, Juris Markauss, Kenneth Clayton, List of Chess boxing champions, Louis Eichborn, Me and Bobby Fischer, SK Rockaden, SparkChess, XICS

They should be linked from other articles or their notability should be questioned (e.g. considered for deletion).

... that need some work[edit]

Cleanup listing for this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

  • The articles on the various tournament systems and tie-breaking systems, we have a bit of information, see Category:Chess tournament systems, but most articles in that category need serious revision. For instance Scheveningen system is a stub (it for instance mentions that it is a popular way to create title norm opportunities, which is true, but needs a cite.
Today (March 12, 2008) someone tagged a section of it with "O.R." and added a lot of "fact" tags.
  • Chess title and FIDE title link back to each other and appear to contain some crossover/duplication. Would these be better combined into one article? Also, both articles focus on performance based titles while 'International Arbiter' and 'International Organizer' titles appear to have been ignored, even though they are both Chess and FIDE titles. Another point to consider is the presence of Russian Federation grandmaster titles that are sometimes described as more prestigious than the FIDE equivalent - these may need some coverage.

... that need a photo[edit]

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of chess people

Leading (deceased) players still missing a photo include, in no particular order: Arthur Dake | Rashid Nezhmetdinov | Lajos Steiner | Baruch Wood

Some important (deceased) players need improved photos, even though they may have one already, for example Aivars Gipslis | Alexander Konstantinopolsky.

In terms of living players, the copyright laws are more stringent, nevertheless good quality images are sought of masters including Hans Berliner.

See the Talk page (December 2007) for more information on how these photos may possibly be obtained. This page has a lot of photos, but they all seem to be small (100 pixels wide).

Others: Play-by-mail game.

... that need to be updated regularly[edit]

Some articles are frequently overtaken by events, and need to be kept up to date. Examples include List of chess grandmasters, FIDE World Rankings, and articles about active "super-GMs" including Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana, Vishwanathan Anand, Vladimir Kramnik, Hikaru Nakamura and Alexander Grischuk.

New articles[edit]

Improve a random article[edit]

Tools[edit]

An assortment of useful tools created by Philcha

Conventions[edit]

Capitalization[edit]

  • The names of pieces (king, queen, rook, etc.) are not capitalized (except when the first word of a sentence).
  • The words "white" and "black" are capitalized only when they are used as substitutes for player names, e.g. "... captured White's rook ... " and "the black queen...".
  • Following our sources, chess opening names are capitalized as proper nouns, e.g., "King's Gambit", "Nimzo-Indian Defence", and "Dragon Variation".
  • In quotations, the capitalization used in the source is followed, even if different from the above conventions.

Ratings[edit]

Live chess ratings, such as those published by the site 2700chess.com are strictly unofficial. They are not normally mentioned in articles, but if they are, they should not be given as much weight as ratings published by FIDE. They should never be included in a player's infobox, for example.

New articles and renamed articles[edit]

  • When creating a new chess article, please add {{WikiProject Chess|class= |importance= }} to its talk page. The class and importance can be filled in or left blank. Also please add it to the index of chess articles.
  • When moving/renaming a chess article, please make the change in the index of chess articles also. This is so that changes to the article under the new name will show up under "related changes" to the index article. (The exact title of the article has to be on that page for it to show up that way.)
