There is a 'Restart' button in the AI panel (which would start a new game, but shuffle the pieces in case of a shuffle variant), as well as a |< navigation button for getting back to the initial position of the current game (undoing all manipuations that were made so far). But you would have to open the AI panel to see those buttons. I never payed much attention to this, because the browser refresh seems an alternative that works just as well.

Slowless in loading is in a sense a self-inflicted problem: I let the Diagram script intentionally delay 1 second before executing the code that creates it. This was to solve the problem that comment pages contain multiple Diagrams, each of the comments referring to the script (because at the time they were posted the user assumed he would have the only comment with a Diagram on that page). If the first Diagram then immediately starts executing the script, the other Diagrams might not have been loaded yet. Ideally the script should only execute after the page has completely loaded. I tried to do that using onload="Init()", but that never was executed. Probably I was doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.

In principle generating the Diagram with the script should be very fast, probably faster than loading a dedicated image. Because the JavaScript and piece images should all come from the browser cache, if you have viewed other pages with Interactive Diagrams and the same pieces from the same set before. A dedicated image would be specific for the page you are loading, and you would most likely not have seen it before.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  1. An ordered list item.
  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
