Know before
you book it.
A flier doesn't tell you about the cramped venue or the late prize payout. Players who've been will. Scores are Bayesian-weighted so one angry review can't tank a venue, and recurring events carry their reputation from edition to edition.

Smooth pairings, fair arbiters, and the playing hall was quiet. Would absolutely return next year.

Questions, answered.
What is Chess Route?
Chess Route is a mobile app for tournament chess players. It finds chess tournaments near you — or anywhere you want to play — and handles the trip around them: registration deadlines, roommate matching to split hotel costs, expense tracking with prize winnings, a game library, and venue reviews from players who were there.
How does Chess Route find tournaments near me?
Chess Route aggregates tournament listings from chess federations and organizers worldwide — dates, venue, sections, entry fees, prize funds, and organizer contacts — and lets you search and filter by location, date, time control, and prize.
Is Chess Route free?
Browsing tournaments that start within the next 7 days is free. Chess Route Pro unlocks planning months ahead, plus roommate matching, the game library, and expense tracking — for €10 or $10 a year (₹250 in India) — about the price of a single café visit.
Can I split a hotel room with other players?
Yes. Post that you're looking to share a room for a tournament, and other registered players can send you a request. Once you accept, contact details are exchanged and you sort out the booking together — typically cutting the hotel bill in half.
Are the tournament reviews trustworthy?
Review scores use Bayesian weighting, so a venue's rating can't be tanked by a single angry review or inflated by one glowing one. Recurring tournaments carry their reputation from edition to edition, so you can see an event's track record before you book.
When does Chess Route launch?
Chess Route launches on iOS and Android in 2026. Join the waitlist above and we'll send you one message the day it goes live — nothing else.
