Found a way to quickly create nice looking chess related pdfs. I've been looking for something like this for a while, and thought I'd share in case others are looking for it too.
Basically you keep track of the game by typing (for example):
\mainline{1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6}
and when you want to display the board:
\chessboard
Simple as that. LaTeX does take some getting used to if you've never used it, but it's not as scary as it may appear at first. Here's a sample of what the pdfs look like, and some links. Hope somebody out there finds this helpful.
