Thank you for green check mark, but the better answer is of @UlrikeFischer. Please can you give this. I am happy thus. :-)– SebastianoCommented Sep 10, 2021 at 20:19

1I draw my own chessboards, so can do pretty much anything with them. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/168281/…– John KormyloCommented Sep 10, 2021 at 21:20

I'm using skak package without the option [ps] that not have the black square:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{skak}
\begin{document}
\newgame
\mainline{1. d4}
\[ \showboard \]
\end{document}
Addendum: showing the black with the arrow (with the option ps) ....whose next move is by the black player.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ps]{skak}
\showmoverOn
\begin{document}
\newgame
\mainline{1.d4}
\storegame{game1}
\[ \showboard \]
\end{document}

1the black square is asymbol to show who's move it is, and there is a skak option for it too (and it can naturally be suppressed with xskak/chessboard). Commented Sep 10, 2021 at 20:08

@UlrikeFischer I like the chess. But if the first move is by the white pawn, shouldn't there be a white square indicating that the first move is by the "white" player? Commented Sep 10, 2021 at 20:12

1the board shows the position after the white move, the next move will be a black move. Commented Sep 10, 2021 at 20:38

@UlrikeFischer Ah now I have understood...now I put an addendum....but I not want the green check mark ...hence I have put the community wiki :-))))) Commented Sep 10, 2021 at 20:39

I am sure totally that the answer was your :-). But skak package is it obsolete? I have used this. Commented Sep 10, 2021 at 19:48
