Load and view several games loaded from a database

Hi there! I've put up a simple archive of chess tournaments held where I live but since for each tournament there are many games, and hence I've got many on a single page, I've created a script that allows the user to load a single game to view, but since this is done after the page has loaded, the chessboard viewer won't recognize the game.

Is there a way to manually call it on a div (or other element) containing a game?

If you are familiar with JavaScript and jQuery, you can reuse the elements of the plugin to achieve this. For instance:

$('#somewhere').chessgame({
    pgn: '...', // replace with the PGN text of the game you want to display
    navigationBoard: 'above', // or 'floatLeft', 'floatRight', 'frame', 'below', 'none'
    navigationBoardOptions: { // customize the navigation board
        squareSize: 40,
        showCoordinates: true,
        flip: false
    },
    pieceSymbols: 'figurines' // or 'native', 'localized', '(ABCDEF)'
});

(look at the comments in the file /js/uichess-chessgame.js for more details).

Several users have been requesting this feature for quite a while now (see also in other issues #93 and #168). Obviously, considering that the goal of the plugin is to allow representation of chess content in WordPress pages/posts, there are some important use-cases that cannot be addressed because of this feature is missing: think especially of publishing the games played in a tournament or an event.

On the other hand, considering that this plugin has been developed on my spare time so far, I've never been able to dedicate enough time to develop this feature. And unfortunately, spare time is not infinitely extensible... ;-)

For this reason, I've decided to launch fund raising campaign on kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yoann-le-montagner/rpb-chessboard-game-list-visualization

The idea is to collect a rather moderate amount of money (1000 EUR), in order to fund a few days of development. Considering the number of active installs of RPB Chessboard, it should be possible to reach this objective if all the people that benefit from the plugin accept to donate a few euros. In return, I undertake to devote the time that needs to be devoted to implement this multiple game feature during this summer (it will be paid-time then, thus more easily allocatable than spare time !).

Thank you beforehand for your contribution.
