FEN + history about chess.js HOT 2 CLOSED

Glad you enjoy the library. I don't know much about meteor, but I'm not sure why you'd need to reload PGN text multiple times per turn. That said, the code below will preserve game history and run a little faster than a PGN reload ... although I'm not sure how much faster. Let me know if it works for you.

var history = chess.history({verbose: true});
for (var i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
    chess.move(history[i]); 
}

You may also be interested in the widget branch. It's an incomplete jquery plugin that can be used to display games, and after a few more commits, play games.

There is no real need to reload PGN multiple times, it's just the simplest solution. When an opponent makes a move an updated FEN/PGN is sent to all connected users (observers and players) and then parsed to display board. Of course the more 'correct' variant is to keep a single Chess instance and maintain moves updates by one, not by all game, but would require more coding. Just was curious maybe it could be done in a simple way. Thanks.
