Getting Started
Sharly Chess is a free, open-source, no-nonsense tool for managing individual chess tournaments. It takes care of everything from check-ins and pairings to FIDE exports. Built with practical tournament needs for arbiters in mind, it also includes functionalities for organizers and players, with public display of pairings, results and countdown timers, as well as results input.
Sharly Chess runs completely autonomously on the arbiter’s computer: Unlike many other solutions, no internet connection is required during tournaments (you don’t have to worry about network outages or the availability of an online server or hosting provider).
