About Chess News Network
Chess News Network is an independent news site dedicated to the chess world. We publish daily reporting on elite tournaments, federation decisions, fair play cases, junior and women's chess, and the business of the professional game.
What we cover
- Tournaments: results, standings and reports from the Candidates, the Grand Chess Tour, the Olympiad, national championships and major opens.
- World and politics: FIDE governance, elections, rulings and national federation disputes.
- Fair play: cheating allegations, anti-cheating policy and integrity cases in over-the-board and online chess.
- Junior and women's chess: rising players and the events that develop them.
- Business: sponsorship, streaming, prize funds and the money behind the sport.
- Opinion: commentary from our columnists, clearly labelled as opinion.
How we work
We build our stories from primary sources where possible: official tournament pages and results, federation statements, and the players and organisers involved. We link to third-party sources for context. We use AI tools to help with drafting, summarising and producing short videos, and videos produced that way are labelled as AI-generated. If we get something wrong we correct it; tell us through the contact page.
