Setting Board Pieces in Profile

10th ranked player on the RHP site, ilywrin, presents an interesting chess puzzle in the body of his profile. How is this done? Would appreciate comment on the mechanics. Thank you.

I presume he is using a FEN script:

FEN in the FAQ : FAQ

also : Thread 53742

& : Thread 60219

Any questions, just ask.

Thank you. Would any intro narrative simply be typed first, then paragraph down to enter Fen... or should the board position be established first, then add comments? Appreciate your helpfulness.

either/or really.

depends on how you want it to display - wherever you put the FEN in your text is where it will be displayed.

Thanks again. Think I may give it try in the profile during December.
