① The feedback gap
Every new OTB player knows this story.
Whether you started at 7 or returned at 47 — hover any panel for the detail.
♟
The spark
A win at the kitchen table
A 6-year-old fork-traps a parent. A 35-year-old colleague gets crushed at the office. Either way: "I should play a real tournament."
Maybe it's your child, maybe it's you. Someone beats someone at home or in a coffee break. You picture a trophy. You enrol in that ₹500 weekend Open.
♚
Round 4
Reality at the venue
First Over-The-Board tournament. Rated regulars dominate. You lose three in a row.
You sit between stoic players carrying rating cards. Your clock runs low in every game. The trophy table fills up around someone else.
…
The drive home
Silence
No report. No score that's yours. No way to know if you actually improved.
Was that a good performance for your level? Did you play your best game in round 5? Are you actually getting better month over month? Nobody can say.
What 8by8verse adds
A personal BCR rating for every player — child, club regular, working amateur, master — calculated from every game of every Over-The-Board (OTB) tournament you play. Plus a post-event report after every single tournament (parent-friendly for junior players).
② Your tournament report
A report any parent can read — even one who never played chess.
Delivered to your WhatsApp the day the tournament ends.

Tournament Performance Rating
How strong you played in THIS tournament — independent of your existing rating. A 1180-rated player performing at 1318 is over-performing by 138 points.
📋
Round-by-round table
Every game listed: opponent's rating, colour, result, and the BCR points that moved. The kind of clean record chess-results.com gives — but for you personally.
⭐
Best game of the tournament
The single game we'd ask a coach to review — the one that earned the biggest BCR jump. Saved, sharable, replayable.
♟
Performance by colour
Many players win 80% with White and 20% with Black. Spotting that gap is the first real coaching insight, at any age.
🏆
Special-prize tracking
Best Woman, Best Veteran, Best U-7, Best Unrated, top of state — every applicable prize is auto-calculated and called out.
