Qui Sommes-Nous?

This project was first started in early 2022 as a means to visualise where chess tournaments were taking place in France. Having moved to France in 2019, I did not know my way around the country and wanted to know which tournaments were happening near me.

The project was shelved until Spring 2023 when it was given a new lease of life. Rebuilt from the ground up,{" "} Echecs France {" "} is now open source and open to contributions.

I will be setting up a donation link if you wish to help cover some of the costs of running this website. After costs, and remaining funds will put back into the chess community by means of sponsoring events or by donations.
