DiagTransfer by Alain Blaisot

Games » Tools & Editors Version : 3.0.1

The simplest way to copy chess diagrams from one program or web page to another quickly and easily.

Copying chess diagrams with a classic position-editor is hard work : you must have both your position-editor and your document/web page application open, and must constantly go back and forth between the two. It becomes a tennis match of sorts: Looking at the diagram you wish to copy in application �A’, switching over to application �B’ to place the piece, and going back to application �A’ to verify the accuracy of the layout,...etc.

With DiagTransfer you � transfer � the diagram – by setting the DiagTransfer window in semi-transparent mode and resizing a board on the diagram to be copied. At this point, you have only to « trace » the pieces - no need to remember piece locations !


Even better, you don’t need to change pieces, with the pieces-bar, with a new program capability you change pieces with a little mouse drag.
Note : a piece-bar is still displayed if you prefer this method.

DiagTransfer is the best tool to quickly capture a position when you watch a live chess game on a web page and want capture a position and paste it in a chess program.

Print high quality diagrams

The picture above is only in-screen resolution of 72DPI (72 dots per inch) and gives you a poor preview of the results you will get a printed page using only a � normal � quality mode (300DPI).With a fine quality paper and a 720DPI resolution you will get perfect quality ! Even better than diagrams printed in high quality chess books.
