Full Web Integration
Continue working with supported tournament data through the Chess-Publisher web platform while keeping the desktop environment part of the same workflow.
Coming in October · October 2026 Update
Chess-Publisher
Goes Fully Connected.
A major Chess-Publisher update is planned for October 2026, introducing the next stage of connected tournament management across desktop, web and mobile. The October release is being built around full web integration, mobile-friendly player registration, secure access with a personal Arbiter / Organizer token, synchronized tournament workflows and controlled Pull Changes.
The next stage
Your tournament.
Your device.
Your workflow — anywhere.
The goal is simple: make tournament management faster, more flexible and available wherever an Arbiter or Organizer needs it — from the tournament hall, the registration desk, a laptop at home, or directly from a mobile phone.
Chess-Publisher is evolving from a desktop tournament application into a connected tournament management ecosystem, while keeping the familiar local workflow available.
Register on the Go
A mobile-friendly environment is being designed for fast player registration, starting-list review and essential tournament management from a phone or tablet.
Personal Arbiter / Organizer Token
Secure personal access will connect authorized Arbiters and Organizers with their tournament workspace across supported devices.
Pull Changes
A controlled synchronization workflow is planned so the latest tournament changes can be reviewed and brought back into the active workspace safely.
Online Publishing
Publish and update tournament information online without repeatedly moving files manually between computers and services.
Multi-Tournament Workspace
Access and manage multiple tournaments under the same authorized account, with a clear separation between tournament workspaces.
Desktop + Cloud + Web
Connected without giving up the local workflow.
The desktop application will remain fully usable as the primary local tournament environment. The cloud is not intended to replace local tournament management — it extends it with secure access, mobility and synchronized workflows.
A tournament can remain available locally while a synchronized copy provides authorized access through the web platform. The aim is to combine the reliability of desktop tournament management with the flexibility of a modern connected workspace.
One tournament — wherever you need it
A connected ecosystem for tournament management and publishing.
Desktop→Cloud→Web→Public Tournament Portal
Tournament management, player registration, publishing and online presentation are moving toward becoming parts of the same workflow.
Built for real tournament conditions
The useful moments are the ones that happen away from the main tournament computer.
1A player arrives five minutes before Round 1 and needs to be registered quickly.
2An Arbiter needs to review or update tournament information while away from the tournament laptop.
3A different computer must be used unexpectedly without losing track of the current tournament workspace.
4The Organizer needs current tournament information without waiting for manual file transfers.
Less file handling
Move the tournament forward, not the files around.
Instead of exporting files, sending them to yourself and trying to determine which copy is the newest, Chess-Publisher is moving toward a synchronized tournament workspace.
The planned October workflow includes secure access, tournament upload, desktop/web synchronization, mobile-friendly registration, controlled Pull Changes, synchronization protection and online publishing.
