Chess Platform

CMS foundation

Chess Platform

A modern home for chess publishing, personal projects, event tools, and long-form archives.

Luxembourg results archive

Live chess data, now connected to the CMS.

Open tournaments

First foundation

Built to expand without boxing the site in.

The CMS foundation is now in place. From here, the site can grow one move at a time: editorial pages, chess databases, tournament tools, member areas, and eventually a bridge back to the dedicated chess results platform.

01

Editorial CMS

Payload manages users, media, and pages first. More collections can be added as the shape of the site becomes clearer.

02

Postgres core

The database choice leaves room for serious search, structured chess data, imports, and performance tuning later.

03

Member-ready

Frontend accounts are separate from CMS admins, with email/password access now and Google sign-in prepared for activation.

04

Results bridge

The results archive remains authoritative while the CMS can present fresh tournament data from its read-only feed.
