Having gotten more experience with how the applets work, I tried Cavalier Chess against the Interactive Diagram again. The ID played White since I don't know how to make the applet move first. Things looked good for Black for a moment when it captured a Paladin with its Nightrider. But on the next move, White forked Black's Eques Rex and Marshall, Black blocked with its Paladin, and White took it for checkmate. This game shows what can happen when you neglect to put defenses in place by moving out some Cavaliers.
