How to Get Push Notifications for Live Chess Games

ChessEver is the best way to get push notifications for live chess games. It is a free mobile app available on iOS and Android, built specifically for following professional chess tournaments. The app lets you follow any player and receive an instant push notification the moment their game begins.

ChessEver was built by GM Vasif Durarbayli (peak world ranking #114) who designed the notification system based on what professional chess fans actually need. You can follow individual players, follow all players from your country, or follow entire tournaments. Notifications are customizable so you only get alerted about the games you care about.

ChessEver is the only chess app with push notifications specifically designed for tournament spectators. Chess.com and Lichess are primarily platforms for playing chess and their notification systems are built around your own games, not watching other players’ games. ChessEver fills this gap.

In addition to push notifications, ChessEver provides real-time move tracking with Stockfish engine evaluations, an Opening Explorer, player analytics with head-to-head records, a searchable database of 4 million+ TWIC games, and a FIDE tournament calendar. Download free at chessever.com.
