Introducing ChessApp: Connect FIDE Profiles with Online Chess Accounts
Hey devs and chess lovers!
I recently launched ChessApp, a simple tool to bridge the gap between official over-the-board chess and the online world. As a chess player myself, I was often wondering: "Does my opponent have a chess com account so I can prepare against him ?" or * "How do I prepare for my next chess opponent ?"* ChessApp helps answer that by connecting data from FIDE, Chess.com, and Lichess in one place.
What You Can Do with It -
Search FIDE players (1.5M+ profiles) Find linked online accounts on Chess.com and Lichess
View a player’s opening repertoire using online games
Explore places to play chess on a world map
Game analysis with Stockfish (coming soon)
