1. For the impatient

You can not wait to start? Your head is filled with beautiful chess tasks that you want to edit immediately? OK, here we go....

  1. Start ChessTask.
  2. Select a "main title" for your tasks with "Edit"/"Set main title", e.g. "Tips for pawn endings".
  3. Use the leftmost tool button to insert a new task. You should now see an empty chess board to the left.
  4. Set up the board by repeatedly selecting a chess piece and its color. With the left mouse button you can set the selected piece onto any square of the board. The middle and right button erase a square.
  5. Enter the title of the task, e.g. "Task 1".
  6. Edit the task.
  7. Provide a solution.
  8. Now you can go back to step 3 for inserting another task, or continue with the next step.
  9. Save the list of tasks with "File"/"Save". You should use the extension `*.tsk' for ChessTask files.
  10. Export your tasks to HTML or LaTeX.
