More serious is that when I try to play a distant Lion move beyond the Pawn (e.g. l d6-e4) it does not immediately accept the move, but still wants me to choose between the simple move and "l d6-e5; l e5-e4", highlighting both e4 and e5 to make that choice. This is a consequence of the "any order" policy, rather than using the order of entry of clicks 2 and 3 to distinguish between the shooter and the multi-mover case.
For me that issue is still important enough to prefer my own adaptation of the JavaScript.
I had a different issue with the any order mechanism for selecting moves. When I clicked on one of my own pieces in Fusion Chess, it would show both that piece's moves and any fusion moves to that space by another piece. This could be confusing, and I decided it would be better to just show the moves for the piece clicked on. To accomplish this, I rewrote showLegal() to require that the steps of a move be entered in order. When the same space is clicked twice, this signals that moves with more steps should not be accepted, and that the move's final destination must be the space that was clicked on again. This is useful for selecting a shorter move from longer continuations of the same move or for selecting a move that returns to its origin.
Since this would not work properly with moving pieces by clicking on the destination first, I removed that capability. It will now only show where the piece clicked on can move to. It will no longer show which pieces can move to a particular space.
