user16311: How do I embed chess games from PGN files in markdown format?

user7297: Well, on this site, you can use the 'replayer'. Basically, you just paste the PGN as a code block; for more details, see Can we implement a replayer for chess analysis on the site?.
For example, the following code will display the first three moves of the Ruy Lopez opening:

    [FEN ""]
    1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5

(it doesn't work right here because of the <pre> block in the post source)
But this isn't really converting the PGN into Markdown, it's just Stack Exchange's rendering engine detecting the PGN and converting it into a JavaScript widget. There is no 'official' way of converting PGN into Markdown, just like there is no official way to convert it into HTML.
