pgn4web is a javascript chess games viewer for websites, blogs and live broadcasts. "pgn4web has a clean design, and is easily integrated and configured in wordpress.

GM Tiger Hillarp, using the pgn4web plugin for wordpress on his site chess at the bag of cats, May 2013.

H.S. from the Max Euwe memorial tournament committee, using pgn4web for live broadcast and game reports, November 2011.
