% Most of the code in this package was literally copied from the example
% file cchessboard.tex provided with the cchess46.mf font designed by
% Jacques Richer (see cchessboard.tex for details)
%
% i only added the following:
%
%  position environment 
%
%  \smallboard \normalboard \largeboard
%
%  \textpiece  (for setting a piece in running text)
%
%  in addition i changed the \piece command so that the first arg takes letters
%  eg a position on the board is described by
%
%    \piece{a}{1}{r} rather than \piece{1}{1}{r}
%
%  (this is like the notation of chess and that's the way i know chinese chess
%   notation)
%
% enjoy
