WikiProject Chess

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.

Templates

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The review of an article aims to assess the article as FA-class, A-class, GA-class or B-class, by decreasing order of quality. It can also simply give useful insights and ideas on how to improve the article. Lower classes (C, Start or Stub) do not need a formal review and can be quickly assessed by anyone who wishes to do so, along the criteria explained at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.

Articles of upper quality

The articles in the scope of the WikiProject Chess that have successfully undergone one or several formal reviews for quality are the following: Portal:Chess/Reviewed articles

FA-class review

The process for articles to become FA-class is described at Wikipedia:Featured articles. Before nominating the articles for FA-class, we advise to undertake the following preliminary steps before:

  1. Nominate the article for an A-class review at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess/Review.
  2. At the end of the A-class review, nominate the article for a GA-class review at Wikipedia:Good article nominations.
  3. At the end of the GA-class review, nominate the article for at least two peer-reviews at Wikipedia:Peer review, specifying the reviewer to check the quality of prose in priority.

The current candidates under review for FA-class are:

It is now in the concluding phase. 04:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Review closed, kept as Feature Article. 15:49, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Today's FA

George H. D. Gossip, the only one of the four chess-related Featured Articles that had not yet appeared on Wikipedia's main page, appeared as Today's Featured Article on December 6, 2009.

A-class review

You can find a list of articles candidates for A-class at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess/Review#Current candidates. There you can nominate an article for A-class, review an A-class candidate and assess it, or find in the reviews some ideas for improving the candidates.

The current candidates under review for A-class are:

  • no candidates for the moment

GA-class review

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. The current candidates under review for GA-class are:

  • no candidates for the moment

Articles

... to create

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • We currently have Chess World Cup 2007, Chess World Cup 2005 and Chess World Cup, we still need Chess World Cup 1982, held in Hamburg and televised, as well as Chess World Cup 1988 (the GMA/Kavalek organised 1988-1989 series of events, and the subsequent botched attempt in 1991). The book World Cup Chess by Kavalek gives a complete account of the 1988-1989 series. The Chess World Cup was a FIDE event in 1982, a GMA event in 1988-89, then again in 1991-92 (but abandoned), returned to being a FIDE event in 2000 and this is where our article Chess World Cup picks up the trail. Articles should perhaps be retitled to reflect the FIDE/GMA distinctions.
  • Several of the Years in chess (19xx in chess) before 1989 don't have their own article.

... to delete/listed for deletion

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

... to merge

... to rename

  • 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.

... which are orphans

The following chess related articles are currently marked as orphan: Leo Battesti, Memorial Heroes of Chernobyl, Birdie Reeve Kay.

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

... which need some work

  • 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.

... which need a photo

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of chess people

Leading (deceased) players still missing a photo include, in no particular order: Arthur Dake | Rashid Nezhmetdinov | Lyudmila Rudenko | Gideon Stahlberg | Lajos Steiner | Georgi Tringov | Baruch Wood | Vladimir Zagorovsky

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 Lev Alburt | 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: USSR Chess Championship, Play-by-mail game.

... which are new

... improve a random article

Tools

An assortment of useful tools created by Philcha

Capitalization conventions

  • 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.

New articles and renamed articles

  • 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 index of chess articles.
  • When moving/renaming a chess article, please make the change in 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.)
