How you can help[edit]
Looking for something to do? Feel free to help out with any of the tasks 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. Note that the current {{Chess diagram}} in the English wikipedia supports FEN directly.
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. Driving school 2019 download. 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:
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:
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:
Articles currently under review for FA-class are:
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:
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:

.. to delete/listed for deletion[edit]
.. to merge[edit].. to rename[edit]
.. 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, 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.
.. that need a photo[edit]
Leading (deceased) players still missing a photo include, in no particular order: Arthur Dake | Rashid Nezhmetdinov | Lajos Steiner | Baruch Wood | Hans Berliner
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.
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.
NEW. The YouTube channel Gibraltar International Chess Festival has hundreds of Creative Commons–licensed interview videos, which may be of very good quality. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be poorly lit.
.. 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.

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. Historical ratings such as those published by the websites chessmetrics.com and edochess.ca should likewise be treated as unofficial.
Opening nomenclature[edit]
In naming chess openings and variations, particularly obscure ones, beware of using 'internet names' or local names. Generally only names that have been published in reputable sources (e.g. Modern Chess Openings) should be used. For the more obscure openings, some of which have acquired multiple names, a source for the name should be provided.
Notability of chess players[edit]
A chess player is presumed to meet the general notability guideline if he or she meets at least one of the following criteria:
Failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; it merely means that notability will need to be established using the general notability guideline or other topic-specific notability guidelines.
