Org mode: describe a chess position and automatically generate image of chessboard - emacs

Question

I write articles on chess. I often need to describe a chess position, using a standard format named FEN, and would like it to be automatically converted to a png image, and when I export the org document as LaTeX or html the image to be inlined. I think it can be done because ditaa seems to work similarly.
For example, with the FEN string "8/pppr1kpp/8/8/8/5P2/PPP1RKPP/8 w - - 0 1" as input, I create a tex file named chessboard.tex:
\documentclass[border={0 0 3 0}, convert={density=150}]{standalone}
\usepackage{xskak}
\usepackage{chessboard}
\usepackage{chessfss}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\setchessboard{normalboard, showmover=true, moverstyle=triangle, label=false}
\setboardfontfamily{merida}
\fenboard{8/pppr1kpp/8/8/8/5P2/PPP1RKPP/8 w - - 0 1} \chessboard
\end{document}
which, with the shell command $> xelatex --shell-escape chessboard.tex, produces the following png image (thanks to the use of the standalone package).
How can I automate this process, so that I could put in an org file something like
#+BEGIN_SRC chessfen
8/pppr1kpp/8/8/8/5P2/PPP1RKPP/8 w - - 0 1
#+END_SRC
and have the above process automated?

Answer 1

Something like this?
#+title: Chess
#+startup: inlineimages
#+property: header-args:latex+ :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 300 -resize 400
#+property: header-args:latex+ :headers '("\\usepackage{chessboard}\\usepackage{xskak}\\usepackage{chessfss}") :border 1pt
* Chess
#+begin_src latex :file chess.png :results raw
\setchessboard{normalboard, showmover=true, moverstyle=triangle, label=false}
\fenboard{8/pppr1kpp/8/8/8/5P2/PPP1RKPP/8 w - - 0 1} \chessboard
#+end_src

Answer 2

This modification of rvf0068's answer works for me, after manually installing the necessary LaTeX packages (that can be found by inspecting in the error log output):
#+property: header-args:latex+ :headers '("\\usepackage{chessboard}\\usepackage{xskak}\\usepackage{chessfss}") :border 1pt
#+header: :imagemagick "t"
#+header: :results file raw
#+header: :exports results
#+header: :fit yes :border 0.5cm
#+header: :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions -geometry 600
#+begin_src latex :file alburt_vs_kasparov_1978.png
\setchessboard{normalboard, showmover=false, moverstyle=triangle, label=false}
\fenboard{8/pppr1kpp/8/8/8/5P2/PPP1RKPP/8 w - - 0 1} \chessboard
#+end_src
# Local Variables:
# org-latex-pdf-process: ("xelatex -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%o %f"
# "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%o %f"
# "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%o %f")
# End:

I use LaTeX environments directly to typeset chess, with no src blocks:
Then, the white brings the king
- to the closest rank to the opposing king and
- to the file one next to that of the opposing king toward the center.
\begin{center}
\fenboard{7k/R7/8/8/8/8/8/7K w - - 0 2}
\mainline{2. Kg2 Kf8 3. Kf3 Ke8 4. Ke4 Kd8 5. Kd5 Kc8 6. Kd6}
\par
\showboard
\end{center}
