However, Symbolic's default is to take the above, add rank and file labeling around the perimeter, and use the ANSI color escape sequences: red: white men blue: black men white: light squares green: dark squares black: rank digits and file letters Fast, simple, and portable to any ANSI color conformant terminal emulator, it works for me.
