Sri Lanka's Chess Hub
ChessConnect SL is a community-driven platform built to make chess tournaments across Sri Lanka easier to discover, register for, and manage — for players, parents, and organizers alike.
Why We Built This
Finding a chess tournament shouldn't be hard
Tournament information in Sri Lanka has historically been scattered across WhatsApp groups, Facebook pages, and word-of-mouth. Parents miss events. Players travel to the wrong venue. Organizers struggle to reach their audience.
ChessConnect SL fixes that — one verified listing at a time.
What ChessConnect SL does
Island-wide Tournament Discovery
Browse Classical, Rapid, and Blitz tournaments from all 9 provinces — filtered by date, format, age category, and region.
Verified Listings
Every tournament is manually reviewed before it's published. No outdated info, wrong fees, or phantom events.
Online Registration
Players register directly on the platform with FIDE ID auto-fill, instant fee calculation, and bank transfer confirmation — no forms, no WhatsApp chasing.
Organizer Tools
Free tournament listing, a built-in registration dashboard, CSV export for pairing software, and waitlist management — everything to run a smooth event.
FIDE & School Events
Clearly labeled FIDE-rated, school-level, and unrated tournaments so every player knows exactly what they're signing up for.
Kids & Junior Focus
Age-appropriate filtering (U6 to U18) makes it easy for parents to find the right event for their child's level.

A note on our listings
Tournament information is submitted by organizers or sourced from publicly available channels (social media, federation announcements). All listings are manually reviewed and approved before publication. While we do our best to keep details accurate, we recommend confirming final details with the organizer directly before travelling. ChessConnect SL facilitates discovery and registration — final confirmation is always subject to organizer approval.
