use of chessboard.js as the GUI for chess interpreter

[gchiu]

Just a FYI, I was creating a demo of Rebol as WASM in browser, and used your chessboard.js to make a chess "interpreter"

Just type chess moves as square positions at the chess prompts

eg. e2 e4 e7 e5 etc castling is o-o, o-o-o pawn promotion is e7 e8=N and en passant is detected though legality is not checked.

You can see help by typing chess-help

and as a bonus, I included a game of mine from 43 years ago.

If this is to be an "issue" proper, perhaps the issue can be about pawn promotion syntax.

Could/should there be a standard, or is it beyond the scope of the chessboard.js ?
