Despite looking around I couldn't find a BBCode way to play chess like the versions available for both phpBB and IPB. Am I just not looking in the right place or is this really not developed? Ideally it would be something like this (http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5050), where the tags are just nf3 d5 g3 nc6 (etc). Really surprised phpBB has the one-up on us in this area.

A note, I did find this (http://www.chessforums.org/misc.php?do=bbcode#fen) but I think that was developed in-house and is a bit more clunky than I'd like.

I'm going to throw together a (bad) version of this when I get home from work today but if anyone has something already developed that I'm not seeing that would be awesome.

Okay, maybe not. I thought there was a way to specify multiple arguments (I actually thought I could do PHP in the BBCode).

Okay, I was able to get a halfway-working version, but it displays 80 small images. Is there a way to convert it to one large composite image? ImageMagick/GD is something I've never really used.
