@ Fergus (or Jean-Louis):

In the following game log I tried to move my Black elephant to f6, but the preset won't allow it for some reason:

Also, in the following finished game, the preset does not seem to display everything beyond the diagram and the declaration of a draw by repetition:

I did not encounter the same problem. It could have been a temporary bug I introduced while streamlining how legal moves are stored just earlier today.

I could move okay with my elephant now, in the log I indicated.

However, the presentation of the finished game log (for Hannibal Chess) that I also gave still looks incorrect, it seems. For example, the names of the two players are not showing in it, and I cannot scroll down much farther at all when I get to the bottom of the diagram. [edit: I see that all finished game logs for CVs sort of look that way now - they did not always, as I was able to review the games from start to finish before]

That's now fixed. Since finished games have no legal moves left, $legalmoves was null, and then $legalList got assigned to null, which threw a fatal error a little further down. It now gets assigned to an empty array if $legalmoves is null, which allows things to work correctly.
