DifferentChess Connects the Tournament Desk to the Board
A two-part chess ecosystem: ChessGrab manages in-person tournaments, while the planned D-Krono clock captures and digitizes games.
Field notes
ChessGrab is described as a single workspace for tournament bases, player intake, payments, pairings, results, standings, and player communications. The homepage’s illustrative Vic tournament shows a six-round Swiss event with 48 players, €15 registration, and mixed online or in-room payment status. D-Krono is presented as a separate camera-equipped clock intended to turn moves from an over-the-board game into digital records, though availability and the final service fee are not established here.
