Chess67 is chess software for clubs, tournament directors, coaches, players and state associations. It combines registration, pairings, payments, member management and event publishing in one platform, available on the web, iOS and Android. The site describes itself with the tagline "Chess in Real Life."
The team includes founder Danny Miller, a former engineering leader at Meta and Calendly, and Carter Williams, a US Chess tournament director who leads outreach. The company says the product is built by chess organizers, for chess organizers. Customer stories cover clubs in Florida, Georgia, California and Washington.
An organizer creates a club, publishes a public page and lists events with dates, venue, price and registration deadline. Players join, register and pay through Chess67 checkout. Clubs connect Stripe or PayPal for payouts, and recurring memberships run through Stripe while PayPal handles one-time purchases.
Directors set up a tournament with sections, time control, Swiss pairings, rounds, byes and entry fees. During play, the Live Dashboard lets them manage players, generate pairings, record results and publish standings online. Afterward, they review reporting warnings and download the USCF rating report files for submission.
For clubs, Chess67 lists a public page, a drag-and-drop page builder, calendar embeds, custom signup forms, membership groups with discounts, a club store, member polls, a mailing list with text alerts, a shared inbox and role-based permissions so several organizers can work from their own accounts.
For tournaments, the site cites nine pairing systems, round robin, double round robin, quads, single- and double-elimination brackets and configurable tiebreaks. Players can check boards and standings online. Membership cards and event passes can be scanned at check-in. Coaches get profiles, lesson packages, booking and a live lesson board.
