VSCode Chess Viewer

Renders chess boards and PGN files inside VS Code's markdown viewer

Pluginfree

VSCode Chess Viewer is a free, open-source VS Code extension that renders chess board diagrams inside markdown notes and displays full PGN game files, without needing to switch to a separate chess viewer app. It's for chess players, coaches, or writers who keep chess analysis in markdown notes and want the positions to render visually right there in the editor.
