How to draw chessboards in ConTeXt?

I wonder which module you can use to draw chessboards in ConTeXt.
When I was using LaTeX, skak is fine but now I a bit stuck.
In LaTeX the code looks like:
documentclass{minimal}
usepackage{skak}
begin{document}
newgame
mainline{1.b4 b6} \
showboard
end{document}

I don't think that there is a chess module for context (and I certainly don't plain to write one).

AFAIK, there isn't any package dedicated to chess. Depending on what you want, you can actually piggyback on skak:
usemodule[filter]
defineexternalfilter
[chess]
[filter=pdflatex,
output=externalfilterbasefile.pdf,
readcommand=readPDFfile,
purge=no,
bufferbefore=chessbefore,
bufferafter=chessafter,
]
defreadPDFfile#1{externalfigure[#1]}
startbuffer[chessbefore]
documentclass{minimal}
usepackage{skak}
usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
begin{document}
begin{preview}
newgame
hidemoves{
stopbuffer
startbuffer[chessafter]
}
showboard
end{preview}
end{document}
stopbuffer
starttext
startchess
1. b4 b6
stopchess
stoptext
