Light and honest

Updates on its own, without slowing you down

When the arbiter publishes results and pairings on ChessPairings, your site shows them automatically — all server-side, with an adjustable cache that keeps it fast.

  • View only: pairing stays with the arbiter, no inconsistent data on the site
  • Native HTML that inherits your theme: no iframe, content indexable by Google
  • No visitor-side fetch: zero cookies, zero trackers, responsive on mobile

From the clubs

Built for organisers

Less copy-paste, more time for chess.

«I used to redo the standings by hand after every round. Now the tournament page updates itself while I'm in the playing hall.»

EttoreOrganiser

«I connected it in ten minutes. Members finally find pairings and regulations on one site, in our own theme.»

SandroOrganiser

«The fact that you can't touch the pairing from the site is perfect: we display, the arbiter decides. Everything stays consistent.»

Frequently asked

Quick answers

Is it really free?+
Yes. The plugin is free and open source (GPLv2). You only need a WordPress site and a ChessPairings account, which is also free.
Can I make pairings from my site?+
No, by design. The plugin only shows tournament information (read-only). Pairing and management stay on ChessPairings, where the arbiter handles them — so inconsistent data never ends up on your site.
Do I need a ChessPairings account?+
Yes. You generate a free API key from your profile on my.chesspairings.org and paste it once in the plugin settings. From there the site reads tournaments automatically.
Is the data real-time?+
It updates automatically: the plugin re-reads the data at regular intervals (cache configurable from 30 to 300 seconds), all server-side. It isn't an instant stream, but it always stays in sync without slowing your site down.
