Thanks, that helped.

But there seem to remain several problems:
(1) The output is just plain wrong.  I have tried k1K5/8/1Q6/8/8/8/8/8 w - -
    which should be a mate in 1.  It says: M0  huh?
    Also, the draw scores are not attributed to the right moves.
    May be a sorting problem.
(2) The move list appears hardly readable.
    I do not know about the TEXTAREA tag, but I would have used PRE.
(3) The FEN input field is too small.

You may want to use a HTML validator, e.g. http://validator.w3.org
Once it works, it will be great!
