ChessPairings — Tournament Showcase is a “showcase” plugin that integrates tournaments managed on the SaaS platform my.chesspairings.org into your WordPress site.
The plugin does not manage tournaments inside WordPress: pairing generation, result entry, player management, Telegram notifications, auto-publishing to chess-results.com and everything else stays on my.chesspairings.org. The plugin simply displays your tournament data on your WP site, using native HTML that inherits your themeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s styles.
What you can do with the plugin:
- Show standings with tiebreaks
- Show pairings by round
- Show the registered players list (or teams + roster for team tournaments)
- Show the tournament announcement / regulations
- Add a “Register” button linking to the online registration form
- Publish a calendar of your tournaments or the community calendar (by federation)
- List all your tournaments with cards — status, dates, registration button
- Display a full tournament page with tabs (info / registered / pairings / standings)
Advantages over an iframe or a screenshot:
- Native HTML that inherits the themeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s styles (fonts, colors, spacing)
- SEO-friendly (indexable content, not in an iframe)
- Mobile responsive by default
- Automatic caching to avoid overloading the API (configurable 30–300s)
ChessPairings account: the plugin requires a free account on my.chesspairings.org and a free API key generated from your profile. The SaaS platform is completely free.
Languages: the plugin is translated in 7 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Czech.

External services
This plugin connects to the ChessPairings API (my.chesspairings.org/api/v1) to retrieve tournament data (standings, pairings, registered players, calendar). All API calls are made server-side from your WordPress installation — no data is sent from your visitors’ browsers.
When data is sent: every time a page containing a ChessPairings shortcode or block is loaded (subject to local caching, configurable 30–300 seconds).
What data is sent: your API key (via Authorization header), the requested tournament ID, and the WordPress site URL (via User-Agent header).
No visitor personal data (IP address, cookies, browser info) is transmitted to the service.
This service is provided by Stefano Loberti (chesspairings.org):

FAQ
-
Do I need a ChessPairings account?
-
Yes, itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s free. Register on my.chesspairings.org, create your tournaments there, then install the plugin to display them on your WP site.
-
Can I customize the look of the tables?
-
Yes, in two ways:
1. The plugin uses CSS variables that auto-adapt to the theme. You can override them with custom CSS.
2. Every template is override-able from the theme: copy a file fromchesspairings/templates/toyour-theme/chesspairings/and modify it. -
How heavy is the API load per page view?
-
Responses are cached for 60s by default (configurable 30–300s). So even with 100 visits per minute, the API receives ~1 call per minute per shortcode.
-
Can I show private tournaments?
-
Yes, as long as the tournament belongs to the API key owner. Visibility (public/private) only controls whether it appears in the community calendar.
-
What happens if my.chesspairings.org is temporarily unreachable?
-
The plugin shows an inline error message in the shortcode area. The rest of your WP site is unaffected.
-
Does the plugin send data to my visitors?
-
No. The plugin calls the API server-side from WordPress — no client-side JS fetch. No cookies, no trackers.
