Visualize move, protection and threat status in chess

Cool, good idea!

I have a couple bits of cosmetic feedback for you:

I would like the chess pieces to appear much larger within each of their squares, ala http://www.365chess.com/opening.php

Also, the green border around protected cells is difficult for me to discern. (Might be due to my colorblindness.)

Thank you for your feedback!

I can definitely make the pieces larger. I will experiment...

The the tiny green border is definitely difficult to discern. I will think about how to display protection status more effectively. :)

Fixes made! 1. Increased piece size, and 2. colored the background of squares if protected, instead of increasing the border size. Thanks again. :)
