Good afternoon. Thank you for your interest in the project.
I agree, there are a lot of chess sites. It is difficult to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. I am not suggesting the creation of a gaming site itself, but access to a completely separate server, or rather a stack of servers that provide multiple tournaments at the same time. A tournament in this case is a group of consecutive games in various formats. A qualifying round may be present.
The bottom line is that the site is created by a partner who is given access to the API. Subscriptions are not applied in this case, and they receive income from the tournaments held on their website using the resources of our system. Therefore, all control over processes and resources, including finances, remains with us, working in a decentralized mode.
It is to control the integrity and reliability of data that the TreeChain blockchain platform is needed.
The issue of controlling the use of third-party software and other software by the player during the tournament is very relevant. It will be solved as statistics on games accumulate, without which this is completely impossible. Some control mechanisms will already be in the first versions (qualifying round, for example), which will be developed and improved in the future. It also offers an initial, basic version of the server - MVP.
Best wishes ChessBoxer.
