Please check http://nut.virtualave.net/EPD.htm for my javascript fen-to-board
solution. If you like pieceset you can use them (13 gifs there); also you can
use javascript code to parse board from fen in a pop-up window (and make a href
javascript: showboard(fen here) link). I only wonder how many readers here use
browser without javascript...
