Chess Engine Rating Lists, Live Tournaments and Audited Results
IJCCRL is designed as a public-facing computer chess hub: live tournaments, documented ranking routes, audit criteria, winners, archive pages and downloadable evidence connected through one homepage instead of a generic blog layout.
This version of the homepage is deliberately built to strengthen the top-level routes first. The mission is clarity: what is live now, where the lists are, how the results are audited and where the user finds the archive.
Homepage role
A search-facing front door, not a feed of miscellaneous posts.
The live viewer remains its own product. The homepage should explain the system, route authority to the permanent sections and give new visitors a stable map of the project.
3
Time controls
Bullet, blitz and classical under one editorial system.
6
Primary hubs
Live, rankings, audit, downloads, winners and guides.
PGN
Downloadable proof
Event files and packs should remain one click away.
24/7
Live plus archive
The site should feel active even when no round is being played.
Main sections
Six cards define the entire homepage strategy.
These are the routes that should carry most of the internal authority. Each card is treated as a destination, not as a filler block.

Live gateway
Live chess engine tournaments without turning the homepage into a viewer.
The role of the homepage is to explain the system and move the user to the correct destination. The live product should stay on its own route, while this page remains a stable search asset.
Current event
Replace this card later with the active tournament slug and direct paths to the live event page, standings and downloads.
Schedule and calendar
Use this panel to connect the homepage with your future live calendar and next event announcement page.
Rating lists
Six permanent entry points for bullet, blitz and classical.
These are the URLs that should evolve into permanent hubs. Each one should eventually connect to events, engine profiles, winners and downloads rather than functioning as isolated tables.
Rules and audit
Methodology is part of the product, not a side note.
IJCCRL becomes stronger when the homepage makes the methodology visible. That means clear routes to rules, pairing integrity, color balance, hardware context and audited final reports.
Pairing and side balance
- Fixed format transparency.
- Color balance checks.
- Result reproducibility.
Files and validation
- PGN packs and downloadable materials.
- Links to final reports.
- Traceable event references.
Downloads
Open Downloads Hub
PGN packs and supporting files should be first-class destinations.
The download hub should not be a dead-end library. It should connect each event to its files, its audit page, its archive record and the relevant engine resources.
Tournament files
Use this zone to expose PGN files, final packs and event-specific downloadable materials.
Engines, books and tools
Use supporting resource pages for engines, books, tools and technical assets without diluting the main event archive.
Archive and champions
Winners pages should become the memory of the project.
These entries help connect current tournaments with past audited outcomes. They should point to final reports, archive years and the engine profiles behind each result.
Original UCI winners
Clean archive of audited champions for original engines.
Open winners pageDerived engine winners
Historical page for audited champions in derived categories.
Open winners pageAnnual archive
Central year-based route for finals, schedules, downloads and results.

Evergreen guides
Technical guides belong on the homepage, but below the core hubs.
This keeps the site useful for long-tail search without letting general informational content dominate the primary conversion routes.
