Options
|img=(default:gif)png
|size=(default:44)- size in pixels
The classic version of this template used GIF for compatibility reasons; though compatibility is no longer an issue. Compare GIF chesspieces and PNG chesspieces in the sandbox.
The chesspieces can be rendered in different sizes. To create a chessboard half the size, change the first line to:
{{chessboard|size=22
Images
Game:Multiplayer Chess/List of Chess Pieces
History
Past documentation read "End each line with |= to prevent the next number parameter being implemented."
This had a side effect of populating Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. Newlines are now stripped away with Template:Trim. It is no longer recommended to end lines with |=.
