However, one of the more useful activities, chess games interspersed with commentary, should be possible with unlimited diagrams.

Template:HiddenMultiLine is handy for the captions of chess diagrams as it allows you to hide part of the caption, e.g. a game continuation or problem solution.

A template has been created to display an infobox for chess players. See for an example and instructions on how to use it. The easy way to use it is copy an existing similar one.

For external links, for the FIDE rating card and for the link to the player's page at ChessGames.com are available. Other sites such as 365chess.com may be entered manually. The following are some of the external links that may be used for a player profile, using Viswanathan Anand as an example:

There are perhaps still 1000 chess players to do, and it looks like there will be more than enough to do for quite some time. A full list of chess players is found here, although a shorter list like List of chess grandmasters might be more interesting to work through.
