Discover the Use of LaTex for Bridge and Chess Online Discussions

In summary, it appears that while there are some resources available for using LaTex to display bridge and chess diagrams in blogs, the implementation on forums such as physicsforums may require changes to the forum software. It is suggested to check with Mathjax, the software used by the forum, to see what is supported.

I'm curious whether LaTex is commonly used to display online discussions of bridge and chess? (Yes, if I investigated online Bridge or chess forums, I'd find the answer. However I hope someone who knows will save me the trouble.)

Just a casual search for "LaTex for bridge deals" shows that people have created "packages" in LaTex to do diagrams in their blogs.

With respect to the situation on physicsforums, my impression is that the implementation of LaTex is done in a manner that dispenses with the need for people to write all the stuff needed to define a proper LaTex document. So the implementation of bridge or chess diagrams would require changes in the forum software. Is that correct?
