New script: Type Move Deluxe

Only Chess


This script is for Firefox/Grease Monkey and Chrome/Tamper Monkey users.

It allows the user to make moves by typing them in algebraic notation in the 'to' box. It is based on Orangutan's script that allowed simple coordinates to be typed in.

It can be downloaded at:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/153583

A more detailed summary of what it does:
On the RHP online chess site, use this script to make moves by typing the move in algebraic notation and hitting ENTER or clicking Sumbit Move.

Almost any valid algebraic move is accepted. Input is not case-sensitive. Pawn captures can be inputted as 'bxc6' or 'bc6' or even just 'bc' if it's not ambiguous.

Castling is 'oo' or 'OO' or '00' for Kingside castling.

If a move is ambiguous, you will need to enter clarifying characters; for example, "Rhc8" if two Rooks can move to c8.

The only type of move that is not fully supported is pawn promotion. You may type "g8" but you will have to select the promotion piece using the links provided by the server.

I haven't tried it. I don't know if there is a mobile browser with a GreaseMonkey/TamperMonkey-like add-on/extension.
