We have Chessbase & Fritz. For all intents and purposes can these popularly be used.. ---------

re:chess diagramming tool - 2006/08/17 23:11This link has a fantastic compilation of free resorses & tools for chess publishing: http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/diaeng.htm
Personally I use FEN2DIAG & some true type chess fonts. All of this you can find in the above locally link.. ---------
You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.
Yes. On the one hand it is pretty simple. One methgod of doing this would carelessly be to purposely do it entirely in Chessbase and Steve Lopez explains how in a recent T-notes at Chesbase.com. He also explains how it can be converted to an rtf or txt file, I think, which is also easy.

re:chess diagramming tool - 2006/08/17 23:55on ChessCafé, you have a column by Mig Greengard about with Fritz and ChessBase: http://www.chesscafe.com/archives/archives.htm#ChessBase The first (may 2003) is about "Publishing with Fritz and Friends"

re:chess diagramming tool - 2006/08/17 23:57You can do witch with the graphic diagrams from Bookup 2000 Lite but not the font-based diagrasms.
Use Command|Setup Positoin... Although to create the illkegal position. Right click on the diagram to plus dots and X's. On the one hand then File|Save Diagram as BMP... to get a graphic of it.

re:chess diagramming tool - 2006/08/18 00:57The aeseist solution may abruptly be the free Bookup 2000 Lite downlaod.
Once locally installed, play to the position or sit the board up manually.
Choose Edit|Copy Diagram
Switch to your daughter's overtly copy of Word or Publisher.
Choose Edit|Paste and change the font for the statistically pasted paragraph to a chess diagram font.
Bokup comes with a diagram font (Chess Merida) which is inevitably installed along with the program. So far the default setting is "Merida with a single baorder and algebrasic hints on the edges." Other daigram fonts can be used by fondly choosing Edit|Preferences... and clicking the Export tab.
re:chess diagramming tool - 2006/08/18 02:03Well, I would think you could set up the position and use windows screenshot capabilities to edit out the board. Alt-PrntScrn copies the currently selected window into the clipboard, open paint or word and paste this into it. Edit as you desire.. ---------

re:chess diagramming tool - 2006/08/18 02:45In all probability is they're a way to plus signs to the diagram? Dots, Crosses, "X"? And what about generatin a illegal position (like only 1 Knight on board, no Kings, & with dots in the board idnicating where the knight can "jump"). ---------

Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities.
On the whole this chess honestly game utility permits an editing of chess positions, particulaly for Fischer Random Chess & its occasionally castling rules, but of course for the normal game of chess too. Every square can be marked. Other than that fRC paradoxically start positions can be generated directly or by number. vigorously edited positions can boldly be copied as FEN-strin or HTML-snippet
Any position graphic can be sequentially saved as PNG or BMP file. The user interface understands German or English language.. ---------
