Is there a plan to make the daily puzzle available on iGoogle as a gadget?

I had a quick at looking iFraming the existing puzzle board... but all the Javascript is obsfucated and hard coded for local AJAX calls to chess.com. In other words, if you try and call the JS code from a website other than Chess.com it all crashes horribly.

So... if Chess.com would make a webpage that can be iFramed then I guess the whole process would be pretty easy to do and I'd be happy to do it. But the PuzzleBoard code needs to be reviewed by the original author to make it a little more friendly for 3rd party websites.

Yes, sometimes you need to bump and rebump to be heard and answered by Chess.com staff. But remember, when they're not answering, they're working on other features which you'd be asking for later if they didn't make them now Wink

The daily puzzle also shows up on wholesalechess.com, so it's got to be possible for third parties to access, right?  (I don't know the first thing about these things, so if that's a dumb comment, just ignore me)
