Keep Chessload free for everyone
About me
- Who I amI’m a 25-year-old developer passionate about chess. I owe much of my progress to free resources like Lichess and YouTube, which helped me improve and fueled my love for the game.
- MotivationWhen I couldn’t find tools that fully met my training needs, I decided to create Chessload—an accessible, and free resource to give back to the chess community.
- VisionMy vision is to make chess improvement more accessible by providing high-quality tools without paywalls. It was with this in mind that I came to create Chessload, with features designed to help players train effectively and track their progress.
- CommunityThe community is at the heart of Chessload. It’s important to me that players actively contribute to its development by sharing feedback and ideas. By keeping the platform free, I want to ensure that everyone can benefit and grow as a chess player.
