I'm with Joseph on this: too much work for the payoff.  Think about keeping
it up-to-date; whoever's job that was might have no life in a heavy
contribution week.  Also, listing all the pieces in a game is redundant to
the actual game description.

If it were done, it would be most useful to be identified by move, rather
than name of piece.  This would be a sysiphean labor.  You would have to
create indices based perhaps on funny notation.  The syntax of funny
notation is ambiguous, in that although it can describe movement
precisely, there is more than one way to describe the same movement in
many cases.
