Indeed, that is a very useful feature!
I now uploaded the EGT.html to the Interactive Diagrams membergraphics folder. It can be linked to from the Piececlopedia pages, with the arguments to specify the move, name and symbol for the piece in question through the parameters 'betza', 'name' and 'img' (where the latter should be the root Alfaerie name, i.e. without the w/b prefix and extension). I guess we would want to do this both for pieces with general mating potential, and pieces that can only force mate in exceptional cases, but perhaps through different remarks. E.g.
This piece can almost always force checkmate on a bare king. Try it!
This piece can only force checkmate on a bare king from some very favorable positions. Try it!
It is not possible to deliver checkmate with just this piece and a King.
I also submitted an article, called 'Checkmating Applet', with the more general version of the applet that I had on my website. This includes the interface for defining piece moves. (I left out the button for some specific (mainly Musketeer Chess) pieces.)
While doing this it turned out the form for editing a submission has a pretty bad bug: in the first draft I had forgotten to adapt some links, and it included a header that turned out redundant. But when I try to edit, the edit window initializes each time with the first version I submitted, reverting all the changes I made in previous edit sessions, I then have to redo all these, and not forget a single one, or I would be back to square a1...
