I just made a new BBCode tag: it is exactly the same as , but it shows the last move instead of the starting position. Much nicer for this purpose.

Even Better. Man, how I which the pgn module would show a fen for each position as you go through the game.

That would be great. My current wish list:

x board coordinates (EDIT: just added this)
x side to move indicator (EDIT: added this, too)
- FEN from current position

I will probably have to hack these myself into the code, so it might not happen immediately. But I'll get to it eventually. If there are any JavaScript hackers out there who feel like taking on any of that, check out http://code.google.com/p/pgn4web for the code I'm using.
