Name of contribution: chessboard v1.5
Author's name: Ulrike Fischer

Summary description: This package offers commands to print chessboards.
It can print partial boards, hide pieces and fields, color the boards
and put various marks on the board. It has a lot of options to place
pieces on the board. Using exotic pieces (e.g., for fairy chess) is
possible. The documentation includes an example of an animated
chessboard, for those whose PDF viewer can display animations.

The most important changes are some internal adaptions to the new package
xskak (which I will upload soon).
Apart from this, I corrected some bugs and added key getpiecelists.
