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. Feel free to join this WikiProject by adding your name to the list. |

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.
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. While diagrams have used a Wikipedia-specific format, with Lua support the {{ Chess diagram}} code in the English Wikipedia now supports FEN directly.
Here is how a chess diagram looks in the Wikipedia source:
{{Chess diagram|align=tright|fen=r3r1k1/pp3pbp/1Bp1b1p1/8/2BP4/Q1n2N2/P4PPP/3R1K1R b - - 0 18|footer=Describe position here}}
Which will look like this:
a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | ||
8 | 8 | ||||||||
7 | 7 | ||||||||
6 | 6 | ||||||||
5 | 5 | ||||||||
4 | 4 | ||||||||
3 | 3 | ||||||||
2 | 2 | ||||||||
1 | 1 | ||||||||
a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h |
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://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.
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.
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.
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.
Articles covered by WikiProject Chess that have successfully passed formal reviews for quality are:
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:
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:
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:
The following chess-related articles are currently marked as orphans:
They should be linked from other articles or their notability should be questioned (e.g. considered for deletion).
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
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 | 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.
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, Ding Liren, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Hikaru Nakamura and Alexander Grischuk.
An assortment of useful tools created by Philcha
When describing moves, use short form English algebraic notation, and include Template:Algebraic notation. Thus, only the destination square is indicated, not the original square except for disambiguation purposes, e.g. Kf1, not Kg1-f1. Castling is indicated by 0-0 or 0-0-0, not O-O or O-O-O. Captures are indicated by the letter "x" rather than a multiplication sign ("×") or other indicator such as a colon (":"). Pawn captures include the "x" sign and name the destination square even in cases where there is no ambiguity, e.g. exd5 rather than exd or ed. Checks are indicated by "+" ( plus sign), and checkmates by "#" ( hash sign). There are no symbols specifically for discovered check or double check; simply use "+" for these. Promotions are indicated by "=" ( equals sign), e.g. h8=Q. Be cautious with the use of chess annotation symbols (e.g. !, ?, ??), or any other editorial comment on a move. If challenged, an annotation needs a source, or else it may be removed.
Chess games with little or no commentary may be formatted as a dense block, PGN style. In the case when there is significant commentary (such as in Immortal Game), moves are written in boldface, and the annotations/commentary are most usually started in a separate indented paragraph for readability. The leads of openings articles have commentary outdented and moves indented (as in King's Gambit, McDonnell Gambit), and occasionally an article uses this formatting as well (e.g. Ruy Lopez, Noah's Ark Trap). An article with massive annotations/commentary (such as Kasparov versus the World) is best presented without any indenting. Due to accessibility concerns, it is recommended to use description list formatting to keep the HTML output clean.
For match or tournament scores, follow the formatting conventions at the
Chess scoring article, using a minus sign (−; −
) instead of hyphens or dashes (see
MOS:MINUS).
Use ½ to denote the scoring for a drawn game, rather than .5, 0.5, 1/2, 1⁄2, or 1/2. The first of these is generally used in print books and magazines. MOS:FRAC generally discourages the use of "precomposed fractions" such as this one, but makes an exception for articles in which ½ is the only fraction used, such as most chess articles.
In naming chess openings and variations, particularly obscure ones, beware of using "internet names" or local names. Addition of "meme openings" to articles is discouraged. Generally only names that have been published in reliable sources (e.g. Modern Chess Openings) should be used. For the more obscure or unconventional openings, some of which have acquired multiple names, a reliable source for the name should be provided.
Published FIDE ratings are given priority and may be included in a player's Infobox. Exceptionally, if a FIDE rating is unavailable, then a national federation's rating (e.g. USCF) may be used. Unofficial live chess ratings, such as those published by the site 2700chess.com and unofficial historical ratings such as those published by the sites chessmetrics.com and edochess.ca are considered self-published and should not be included in a player's Infobox. They are not normally mentioned in articles, as this is potentially undue weight.
Articles on chess players should meet the general notability guideline (GNG) of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That said, achievements of a chess player that make them likely to meet the GNG standard include:
Failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or other topic-specific notability guidelines. This section is intended as a rough guide to notability, and has little weight in deletion discussions.
Analysis by a chess engine is original research and cannot be used on Wikipedia. This includes engine analysis generated by posting games or positions on sites such as lichess.org. However, if a reliable source refers to engine analysis, this can be used.
Chess literature has traditionally used the masculine third person pronoun when referring to an impersonal or hypothetical player, e.g. "Black should play ...d5 to free his king's bishop.". This style of writing is increasingly considered dated. However, editors are encouraged to consider alternatives to simply substituting they/their/them where he/his/him occur, as this tends to distract attention from the point being made.
As with all wikipedia articles, self-published sources are generally considered unreliable. Print sources are generally considered reliable, but certain authors such as Eric Schiller and Raymond Keene have a reputation for unreliability. Among the best online sources are Edward Winter and The Week in Chess.
