I saw this question:
Can a piece pinned to my king put the opponent's king in check?
which has a chess board inserted with the [fen] tag. Is this special to Chess Stack Exchange?

@Christophe that does not help me, there was never an answer.– user11939Commented Dec 10, 2016 at 0:47

1Did you read the close reason for that question? It says, "This question pertains only to a specific site in the Stack Exchange Network. (...)". Doesn't that implicitly answer your question?– TsundokuCommented Dec 10, 2016 at 17:09

@ChristopheStrobbe why would that answer my question?– user11939Commented Dec 10, 2016 at 17:15

It implies that the PGN viewer was only implemented on Chess SE. Even Board & Card Games SE doesn't have one. See How should I concisely represent a chess position in a question? and Please implement the Chess replayer on Board and Card Games.– TsundokuCommented Dec 13, 2016 at 12:43

It looks like Chess SE is the only Stack Exchange site where the PGN/FEN renderer was implemented:
- In January 2016, someone asked a question about the PGN viewer on Meta SE, which was closed as off-topic. The argument for closing it was, "This question pertains only to a specific site in the Stack Exchange Network. Questions on Meta Stack Exchange should pertain to our network or software that drives it as a whole, (...)."
- Outside Chess SE, Board & Card Games SE would be the site where this renderer would be most relevant. The meta site has several questions about it:
- Can we integrate software to show Go and Chess positions? is a question from April 2011 (apparently during the beta phase) that asks for this feature, and none of the answers state that it got implemented.
- How should I concisely represent a chess position in a question? is a question from June 2011 where the first answer says that the site is unlikely to get an FEN renderer.
- Please implement the Chess replayer on Board and Card Games is another request for this feature, this time from January 2013. Again, nothing in the comments or answers suggests that it got implemented.
- I asked in the Board & Card Games chat whether it got implemented, and the response (from one of the site's moderators) was not positive.
