Answers.Body: <p>There is a very nice web service called <a href="http://www.eddins.net/steve/chess/chessimager" rel="nofollow">Chess Imager</a> that generates a board diagram from a FEN string included in the URL and you can even <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chessimager/wiki/SquareColors" rel="nofollow">change the color</a> of the squares using RGB values that you encode as well. I have used this several times in my posts on this forum.</p>
  
  <p>You just build the URL, which is not difficult, and then bast it in the image (from web) dialog box. The only think I do not like about it is that it does not included a method of identifying the side to move nor does it have an indication of which side is to move. But there may be other options for that that I am unaware of.</p>
  
  <p>It would probably be easier to Google FEN to chess board image rather than PGN.</p>

  There is a very nice web service called [Chess Imager](http://www.eddins.net/steve/chess/chessimager) that generates a board diagram from a FEN string included in the URL and you can even [change the color](http://code.google.com/p/chessimager/wiki/SquareColors) of the squares using RGB values that you encode as well. I have used this several times in my posts on this forum.
