Note that it is possible to pre-load an Interactive Diagram with a game, through the parameter moveList. This would save the reader the trouble of copy-pasting the game into the Diagram.

So a Shatranj Diagram with the extra line

moveList=1. a3 a6 2. Nc3 a5 3. Be3 a4 4. Ra2 Ra6 5. Kc1 Rf6 6. Kb1 Rxf2 7. Ka1 Rxg2 8. Nf3 Rxh2 9. Qf2 Rxf2 10. Bh3 Rxf3 11. Rb1 Rxh3 12. Bc1 Nf6 13. d3 Rxd3 14. Ne4 Nxe4 15. c3 Rxc3 16. e3 Rb3

would enable the reader to start navigating through the game immediately, by using the button bar in the AI panel opened by the Play It! link. Like below:
