How to use a chess diagramm template

Here is how I typically use a chess diagramm template. I usually copy one of text fragments given below and modify as needed. More information about template usage can be found on Template_talk:Chess_diagram.

Chess diagramm

{{Chess diagram|=| tright| |=  8 |rd|nd|bd|qd|kd|bd|nd|rd|= 7 |pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|= 6 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 5 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 4 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 3 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 2 |pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|= 1 |rl|nl|bl|ql|kl|bl|nl|rl|=    a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  | '''Chess'''. Starting position}}

Chess variant with uncheckered board

{{Chaturanga diagram|=| tright||= |rd|nd|bd|kd|qd|bd|nd|rd|= |pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|pd|= |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= |pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|pl|= |rl|nl|bl|kl|ql|bl|nl|rl|=|'''Shatranj'''. Inital position.}}

Chess problem

{{Chess diagram|=| tright| '''Eric Angelini'''<br>''Europe Echecs'' 433, Apr. 1995|=  8 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 7 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 6 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 5 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 4 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 3 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 2 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |= 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |=    a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  | '''Black to move. What did White just play?''' Typical example of retrograde analysis problem. }}
