I am just using legalMoves as a vehicle to transfer information from the GAME code to the JavaScript in the move-entry pages, because at this point it seems the only way to transfer information that way.

As I've mentioned to you a couple times already, it is no longer the only way. I have created an $extralegal variable for additional legal moves. Besides using this to help populate the datalist for the moves field, I am using it to populate an array currently called legalList to distinguish it from the legalMoves array. This is an array of legal moves as strings of text. I have begun working on modifying movePiece() to make use of it. I am currently working on the version for square table boards. It can handle standard moves without any problem right now, but I am working on getting it to work with non-standard moves, starting with fission moves in Fusion Chess. These moves involve moving a different piece than the one currently on the space it moves away from.

The way I currently have it testing the legality of a move is to make sure the currently entered move is the only match among the legal moves. When I have this working for fission moves, I'll work on offering multiple choices.
