Roman Chess

Unfortunately none of the four pages here show the rules. Just to try out the latest version of the interactive diagram script, I posted this description here. Note the diagram now has a color legend in the collapsible legend area below it, if you use the minimized piece table.

@Fergus: would it be possible to also get an "Earlier comments" link at the top of the comments pages? Now it is only at the bottom. On a device as primitive as my e-reader, it takes an awful lot of time to scroll it to the bottom, as the comments listing page can get quite long. This is very inconveient if I need to go to a posting known to be in the 2nd or 3rd group of 25.

Another HTML style question to which you perhaps know the aswer: In the color legend below the diagram on the left I try to display the marker images at ~65% of their size, by adding height="21" width="21" to the tag (while the images are really 33x33). This works great on my ancient FireFox on Linux. But on a modern FireFox on Windows 8 they display at 100%. Is there a better way to force demagnification of the images? The color legend looks very spacey now...
