the easiest way is to use a font for diagrams. Just copy and paste it
into your text editor (you will get a 8×8 matrix plus maybe chars for
rules and numbers around).
This description should be enclosed by a user command, e.g.
\dia{<matrix>}, which turns off interlineskip (in plain
\offinterlineskip). This should be enough for a quick and dirty
solution. High quality typesetting or generating diagrams out of
databases like chessbase or parsing of FEN strings is much more
difficult. You can take a look at LaTeX package chessboard or skak how
they do it ...
