Does anyone know how to write a script to automatically calculate the piece count as a chess piece is captured? And if so could they please provide it. That is if it can be done.

I think Ourborous is the guy to speak to about greasemonkey on this site.

I would like to know if the get PGN/FEN script can be adapted for the new games pages.

So that when I want the PGN of a game (say for looking up in my database for opening play or analysing a finished game or just because) I don't have to go via the History page.

As for it already being fixed, this is what happens when developers isn't on the forums dropdown list. I forget to check it.

Also I misread your initial request, I know the pieces taken updates automatically but you want a piece score total (9 for queen, 5 for rook etc.) and it has to update automatically. I know having it check on load is possible (count instances of certain images and multiply) but I don't know if autoupdate is possible.

As Fred said, Ourborous is the man you want to talk to (check the developers forum).

Yes, I can see your point and thanks. I sent an email yesterday, hopefully I will get a reply. Good luck.

Looking into this one. Appears tougher than I would have suspected because the "taken" pieces are seem to be generated by Javascript.

Okay, check out:

Haven't tested it extensively so expect bugs. 🙂

Could you rewrite it to take into account the position on the board when making the calculation? 😉

How so? It should dynamically update once after you have captured a piece on the board.

He was making a joke that you could add positional considerations to your algorithm and in effect create a crude position score somewhat similar to the way an engine does.
