This page is a demonstration page of both the Show FEN gadget as well as the Chess Game Viewer gadget. They are based on the Blogspot Diagram and Game Viewer of Chess Publishing. At this site the author has published a method to publish chess games on a blogspot/blogger site and I wanted to do something similar for a site that was hosted on Google sites. At first this seemed to be quite a challenge,without JavaScript, but then it turned out that by using Gadgets the same kind of functionality can be offered. At the left side you can find an example of the Show Fen Gadget, that shows the position after the 6th move of the Pelikan Variation of the Sicilian Defense. But a similar effect can be accomplished by just adding a picture. Therefor the Game Viewer gadget is probably even more interesting, because it enables to add re-playable chess games The gadget at the right side shows (by default) the shortest possible game: The Fool's Mate. Of course the gadget can be configured in such a way that it shows another game, but there are some limitations.because of the limitations of the user preference mechanism of Gadgets in general. The preference size is currently constrained by URL limitations, which is 2K. |
