About Follow Chess
Follow Chess is the enthusiast's companion for watching elite tournaments live. It aggregates broadcasts from the Candidates, World Championship, Grand Prix, Bundesliga and dozens of smaller events into one watchlist, with multi-game view and automatic engine evaluation. Lichess broadcasts and Chess.com events cover similar ground for free, but Follow Chess is faster to the punch on obscure events and has a purpose-built mobile interface. The Pro tier removes limits for under a dollar a month — among the cheapest Pro upgrades in chess.

- Clean multi-game watchlist view
