here is the file in case you wanted to see it:
\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article}
% This is a LaTeX file generated by Scid.
% You must have the "chess12" package installed to typeset this file.
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage{chess}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\setlength{\columnsep}{7mm}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
% Macros for variations and diagrams:
\newenvironment{variation}{\begin{quote}}{\end{quote}}
\newenvironment{diagram}{\begin{nochess}}{$$\showboard$$\end{nochess}}
\begin{document}
{\bf
$\circ$ ?\\
$\bullet$ ?\\
? \\
???? \hfill *\\
}
\begin{chess}{\bf
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 d6 3.Qf3 a6 4.Qxf7\#
}\end{chess}
{\bf *}
\begin{center} \hrule \end{center}
\end{document}

but I can't see any special package used here... 🙁
I can't imagine that with two totally identical tex files you have two different dvi files (or ps or pdf or whatever...)
anyway, thanks a lot!
