The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: TeXmate2

Summary description: Comprehensive chess annotation. Version 2
License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the second version of TeXmate. Many refinements and new tools.

Now it works in conjunction with skak and thus follows the game as it 
is typeset. That makes it able to diagram the current position 
automatically.

For chess fonts it uses the chessfss system.

(The original version is still available in 
/obsolete/macros/latex/contrib/texmate.)
