Best Chess Websites

What started out as a list of players who have reach the 2700 ELO rating mark has now grown into a full-featured website for following the top chess players in the World. The site also offers full live coverage of most of the major chess tournaments around the world.

Chess-results.com is the most comprehensive database of chess tournaments around the world. The site also serves as a great tool if you are looking to organise a tournament and it has been localised to dozens of languages to make it as easy to use as possible.

Another great resource to learn chess for kids is definitely Chesskid. With playful characters, Chesskid creates a fun and interesting environment for kids to learn chess. Chesskid is developed by chess.com.

The chess clock page on VisualTimer.com provides a simple, free online game timer that functions like a traditional chess clock, allowing players to track each participant’s remaining time during a game. It sits alongside a variety of other visual and interactive timers on the site, which are designed to show time visually as well as numerically, helping users easily see time passing at a glance without needing to read numbers. VisualTimer.com’s tools—including countdown timers, presentation timers, and the chess clock—work directly in a web browser on any device with no sign-in required and are useful for board games, timed matches, practice sessions, or casual play.
