Chrome Extension to calculate attackers and defenders.

Hi All,

I recently made a chrome extension to calculate attackers and defenders for each piece, identify hanging pieces, and assess whether you can gain material in exchanges. 

The extension is not mean to cheat and will only work when playing against the computer or when completing puzzles.

Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

You certainly put some time in it. Coding and chess sounds always like fun.
What is the purpose of it other than cheating?
"will only work when playing against the computer or when completing puzzles" - after a quick peek at the git code im not really sure about it
