What applet? Applets, i.e. Java applications embedded on web pages would 
be off-topic here, and besides I don't see any applet on the page you

simple page where chess moves can be shown graphically.

The page seems to use font face tricks to make letters look like chess 
pieces, instead of properly using chess piece characters. And it 
probably uses IE-only web font technique (EOT). Nothing to do with 
JavaScript, really.
