Indeed, the duplication disappeared, and the diagram shows up fine now. Many thanks!

Would it be possible to organize some of the piecegraphics on this website better, so that it can be used by the interactive diagram? I just switched the diagram in the Grant Acedrex comments to using 'Utrecht'-style pieces, just like in the main article. But the Utrecht set on this site was not useful, because it uses no transparency, but has a colored square as part of the image. So that there need to be four of every piece. And they are distinguished by 00 / 01 / 10 / 11 suffixes on the filename. The diagram expects transparency (so the background highlighting of the moves can be seen), and only two colors of every piece, distinguished by a prefix.

So I converted the pieces I needed (plus some orthodox ones) to png with transparency and w/b prefix naming. But the diagram is now using them directly from my own website. I think it would be better if the articles here are 'self-sufficient', and the images thus on the CVP website.

I can of course create a user submission on Utrecht pieces, and upload all png files to the associated membergraphics directory, but this is not an ideal place forlater referring to them, and there already is an article about those pieces (in the gif directory). Unfortunately this is not reachable from the graphics.dir/index.html page that shows a nice overview of other available graphics. Could the reworked piece images be placed in graphics.dir/utrecht? It really is a very elaborate set (if I would rework them all), andofmuch smaller size than Alfaerie (32x32 instead of 50x50), which is very useful for creating manageable diagrams for variants with large boards.
