You are getting quite adept at creating Interactive Diagrams!
Two suggestions that might be useful for making them even nicer:
* There is an anti-aliased PNG version of the /graphics.dir/small/ set, in /graphics.dir/utrechtPNG/. It is 50x50, but if you are using betzaNew.js as the Diagram script instead of betza.js, you can still specify squareSize=33 if you really want small pieces. This newer script includes size specifications in the HTML for the chess board that forces their size to the requested squareSize, rather than adapting it to the natural image size. And the 50x50 anti-alisased PNG displays quite nicely at 35x35 too, with a more pleasing result than using the old GIF files.
* If you include the parameter useMarkers=1, it will use symbols for highlighting the moves, rather than the background color. This looks better on brightly colored boards, especially when you have suppressed the borders between the squares with borders=0. (Perhaps I should make this the default...)
Thanks! I've actually been using Play-Test Applet before becoming a member here How do I make Interactive Diagram use Smess set?

But with shuffle.
I am not sure there exists anything like a 'Smess set'. Perhaps Fergus knows? When I look at the Smess page the images of the individual pieces are in /other.dir/, but I don't think these have transparent background. And then they would not be usable for the ID.

It's originally a Scratch project.
A list of pieces with their estimated value on 8x8. Some are from zillion, interactive diagram, someone's opinion, etc Take these after having added a pinch of salt which weighs approximately 65 mg, which is about how much table salt a person might pick up between the fingers. Some pieces are renamed by me or my own invention that I've never shared, but most pieces should be pieces that you can find in this site.

I was looking through your list to see if you'd included any of mine, and while I found a couple of familiar names (Crusader and Inquisitor) I didn't see their counterparts (Healer and Tax Collector), so I assume that those are different pieces under the same name.
Some pieces that can be found on your Piece of the Day are included, but under different names:
-Seeress (Q2)
-Night Potentate (N2)
-Heavenly Tetrarch (Q4)
-Barasi Bishop (fB)
I recognized the Heavenly Tetrarch as my Lady in Waiting (though actually Lady in Waiting was a deliberate renaming of the Heavenly Tetrarch, to fit the themes). I was unaware of the other three, though.
