I have now modified the Alfaerie-JPG version of the Chess preset to use the
code I've been working on for identifying check, checkmate, and stalemate.
For each of these, it will put an appropriate message above the board, and
for checkmate and stalemate, it will automatically update the status.

I have also created the commands won, drawn, and lost for updating the
status. The <B>won</B> command declares the current player to be the
winner, <B>lost</B> declares the current player's opponent to be the
winner, and <B>drawn</B> declares the game drawn. Don't confuse this with
draw, which is a command for drawing cards. The lost command is an alias
for resign, to be used when a player has already lost without resigning.
