With the following code :
\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{xskak}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[5]
\begin{multicols}{2}
\chessboard[setfen=8/8/5K2/2p3Bk/2P1R3/8/8/8 b - - 0 1,tinyboard,margin=false,showmover=false]\footnotesize{\lipsum[1]}
\end{multicols}
\lipsum[5]
\end{document}
I get the following result :
I would like the chessboard to span the entire width of the column, and the text that follows not to bite into the a-h letters of the chessboard files...
I would also like the 1-8 rank numbers of the chessboard not to be shifted to the left but to be aligned with the left side of the column...
I have not managed to achieve this ... Your help is welcome! Thank you!


\fbox, but it adds some padding. But see: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/2083/47927 – Jasper Habicht Mar 01 '23 at 20:40
