It lets you easily display live chess player profiles from Chess.com and Lichess directly on your WordPress website using a simple shortcode. #### 🟢 Available Now: Player Profiles The Player Profiles module lets you embed beautiful, always-fresh chess player profile cards anywhere on your WordPress site using a simple shortcode. Each profile card is fetched live from the platform’s public API every time your page loads, so your visitors always see the most up-to-date ratings, win/loss/draw record, titles, and account details. **chess.com Player Profiles** Connect your WordPress site directly to chess.com. Display a player’s avatar, country, title (GM, IM, FM, etc.), bullet/blitz/rapid/ daily ratings, total wins, losses, draws, follower count, and join date — all in one elegant card. The LNC Chessboard chess.com integration uses the official chess. com Published Data API, which is completely free and requires no API key. **Lichess Player Profiles** Bring Lichess player data into your WordPress pages with the same ease. The Lichess integration displays the player’s title, all time- control ratings (bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, chess960, and more), W/L/D record, bio, FIDE rating (if set), online status, playing time, and patron status. The LNC Chessboard Lichess integration uses the official Lichess public API, which is free and open. **How Player Profiles works on your WordPress site:** 1. Go to **LNC Chessboard Player Profiles** in your WordPress admin. 2. Choose chess.com or Lichess, enter a username, and select a card theme (dark or light). 3. Click **Preview Card** to see exactly how it will look. 4. Copy the generated shortcode and paste it into any WordPress post, page, or widget. Example shortcodes: [lncchess_profile source=”chesscom” username=”hikaru”] [lncchess_profile source=”lichess” username=”DrNykterstein”] [lncchess_profile source=”lichess” username =”Magnus” theme=”light”] Chess coaches can use Player Profiles to showcase their own credentials on their WordPress coaching site. Chess clubs can display member profiles on their WordPress club page. Tournament organisers can highlight top players ahead of an event. #### Why LNC Chessboard? Chess is one of the fastest-growing online communities, and WordPress powers over 40% of all websites. Yet until now, chess clubs, coaches, and content creators have had to rely on clunky embeds and disconnected tools to bring chess content into WordPress. LNC Chessboard changes that. Built by Late Night Chess — a team of chess enthusiasts and WordPress developers— LNC Chessboard is designed from the ground up for the chess community. Every feature is purpose-built for chess use cases: chess club management, chess coaching, chess tournament administration, and chess content creation. No bloat, no irrelevant features— just chess, inside WordPress. #### Shortcode Reference **[lncchess_profile]** — Display a live player profile card. Attribute Values Default Description source chesscom, lichess chesscom The platform to fetch the profile from. username Any valid username (required) The player’s username on the platform. theme dark, light dark Visual theme of the profile card. #### External APIs LNC Chessboard connects to the following external services to fetch chess player data. These connections are only made when a Player Profile shortcode is present on a page, or when a user previews a profile in the WordPress admin. **1. chess.com Published Data API** * Service: chess.com * URL: https://api.chess. com/pub/ * Purpose: Fetches public player profile data including username, avatar, title, ratings, win/loss/draw record, country, followers, and join date. * Data sent: The chess.com username entered in the shortcode attribute. No personal data from your WordPress site or its visitors is transmitted. * Authentication: None required. The chess.com Published Data API is fully public. * Privacy Policy: https:// www.chess.com/legal/privacy * Terms of Service: https://www.chess.com/legal/user- agreement **2. Lichess Public API** * Service: Lichess (lichess.org) * URL: https://lichess. org/api/ * Purpose: Fetches public player profile data including username, title, ratings across all time controls, win/loss/draw record, bio, FIDE rating, online status, playing time, and patron status. * Data sent: The Lichess username entered in the shortcode attribute. No personal data from your WordPress site or its visitors is transmitted. * Authentication: None required. The Lichess public API is free and open. * Privacy Policy: https://lichess.org/privacy * Terms of Service: https:// lichess.org/terms-of-service **Caching:** All API responses are cached on your WordPress server for 5 minutes using WordPress transients. This keeps your chess pages loading fast while ensuring data stays fresh. ### Privacy Policy LNC Chessboard does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about your WordPress site’s visitors. When a Player Profile shortcode is rendered, LNC Chessboard makes a server-side request from your WordPress server to chess.com or Lichess. The only data sent to these external services is the chess username specified in the shortcode — no visitor IP addresses, cookies, or personal information are included in these requests. Fetched profile data is stored temporarily in your WordPress database as a transient cache for up to 5 minutes, then automatically deleted and refreshed. This data is entirely public information sourced from the respective chess platform’s public API. For more information on how chess.com and Lichess handle data, refer to their respective privacy policies linked in the External APIs section above. ## Installation 1. Upload the `lnc-chessboard` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **LNC Chessboard** in your WordPress admin sidebar. 4. Navigate to **Player Profiles** to start building your first shortcode. ## அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள் ### Do I need an API key for chess.com or Lichess? No. Both the chess.com Published Data API and the Lichess public API are completely free and require no API key or account to use. LNC Chessboard connects to them directly from your WordPress server. ### Does LNC Chessboard slow down my WordPress site? No. LNC Chessboard only loads its CSS and JavaScript on pages where a chess shortcode is actually used. Additionally, all API responses are cached server-side for 5 minutes, so the external chess API is not called on every single page load. ### Can I show multiple player profiles on the same WordPress page? Yes. You can place as many `[lncchess_profile]` shortcodes on a single WordPress page as you need. Each one fetches independently and is cached separately. ### Can I use the dark and light themes on the same page? Yes. Each shortcode accepts its own `theme` attribute, so you can mix dark and light profile cards on the same WordPress post or page. ### Is the player data always up to date? Data is cached for 5 minutes on your WordPress server. After the cache expires, the next page visit automatically fetches fresh data from chess.com or Lichess. This means ratings and records are always within 5 minutes of being current. ### Will Tournament Manager and PGN Library be free? We intend to keep the core of LNC Chessboard free. Some advanced features may be offered as premium add-ons. Visit https://sxecurify.github.io/latenightchess/ for the latest information. ### Where can I get support or request a feature?
