About

chessmoments is a free chess site for club players and fans, built and run in spare time by one chess player. It needs no account, shows no ads and sets no tracking cookies.

• Games database: millions of over-the-board games since 2012 from The Week in Chess, used with Mark Crowther’s kind permission and updated every week. Tournaments get standings, crosstables and a page for every round, and every player gets a page with their games. Organisers can upload their own tournaments, which we check before they go live.
• Analysis and notes: any game can be analysed with Stockfish on our server. Once it is analysed, Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, can write short notes for club players from that analysis alone. The notes are machine-written, so treat them as a guide and not the last word.
• Training and tools: the daily puzzle and the opening explorer use the open Lichess databases. The analysis board, chess clock, board image generator and coordinates trainer run in your browser.

Everything the site uses is listed on the credits page. What it stores is explained in the privacy notice.
