PGN Live is the utility written in JavaScript. It is intended to provide a comfortable way for viewing the a game of chess
in a Web browser. Currently it is tested only on several browsers, but it should work correctly on all W3C DOM compatible agents.
The usage is simple: just pass a single correctly formatted PGN record and you will be able to watch the game in similar way you can do it
with some of popular programs -- like ChessBase, Fritz, Chess Informant Expert and other -- which run locally on your computer.
The pieces slide over the board, the option box pops up when variations branch, the diagram is always visible in the window regardless how much
the game text scrolls etc. Only, it is all provided by your browser, not by a classic computer application!
You can navigate through the moves section by clicking on the move, using the keyboard navigation keys, or using the navigation
bar below the diagram. There is also the auto-play feature which demonstrates the moves from current location to the end of game or variation.
The developement of the PGN Live is still in progress and the feedback from you will be welcome!
