Following professional chess online is fragmented. FIDE's site is clunky, broadcasts lack context, and tournament data is scattered across five different sources. Shatranj Live brings it all together — real-time standings, live game viewer with move-by-move analysis, FIDE ratings, player profiles, and editorial coverage. Currently tracking the FIDE Candidates 2026 in Cyprus — the tournament that decides who challenges World Champion Gukesh. Free, fast, and built by chess fans for chess fans.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Jay, and I built Shatranj.live because following professional chess online was driving me crazy. Standings on one site, games on another, ratings somewhere else — it felt like I needed 5 tabs open just to follow one tournament. So I built the thing I wanted to exist: one clean dashboard where you can track live tournaments, watch games move-by-move, check real-time FIDE ratings, and read actual analysis — not just raw data. We're launching right in the middle of the FIDE Candidates Tournament 2026, where 8 players are fighting for the right to challenge World Champion Gukesh. If you've ever been curious about competitive chess, this is the perfect time to jump in. A few things I'm proud of: - Live standings that update in real-time via WebSockets - Built-in game viewer — no need to leave the site - Player profiles with rating history for 100+ GMs - Country-specific pages (India, US, Russia, China, and more) - Editorial blog with tournament previews, guides, and player deep-dives I'd love to hear what you think — especially if you're a chess fan or if you've never followed chess before. Both perspectives are super valuable. Happy to answer any questions! ♟️

@shatranj_live finally the app I was looking for. I used to juggle chess.com, 2700chess and youtube to follow one tournament. And the lack of notification feature meant missing a lot of good games. Also kudos for having location tags to tournaments, I can plan and watch matches in-person if it is happening in my city.
