Chess & Friends is a small website that tracks the accuracy and results of the chess.com games I play against my brothers and shows how they evolve over time. It pulls everything from the public chess.com API, with no API key and no local engine analysis.
Key features:
- Individual view: My accuracy evolution and my numbers on their own.
- Friends view: A comparison between everyone in the group, with a head-to-head table.
- Automatic data: A Node script fetches the games from the API and saves them to a
games.json, and closed months are cached so only the current one is requested again. - Zero maintenance: A static page with no build step or frameworks, which refreshes itself so it never needs me to touch it.
It started as a joke to keep score of the beatings my brothers give me. Read the whole story in the blog post.
