Help requested: Following the HWC

Hi all.
I am following the Horde World Championship, and find it pretty hard to get through the various games.

So, my idea is to set up a website that will arrenge all of the matches, upcoming past and current, in a nice watchable list. What I need for this:

  • A script that goes over the HWC thread and extracts match dates (working on it)
  • A DB for storing all of that data (I think Google or Amazon can provide this within their free tier, will look into it)
  • A website for displaying all of the matches in a nice list (need help with that, if someone have the required Web development skills I will welcome it very much)
  • A hosting + domain - I am creating a subdomain for that so it is considered done.

Can anyone help me mainly with the website task? Will love to set it up ASAP, any help appreciated.

Update: I have completed the website, you can visit it now at https://hwc.hordechessblog.com/.
You can browse past games and see expected dates for future games. I found it very useful for going through all of the games and spot interesting positions.

Note: The games are updates semi-manually, which means there will be some delay in displaying new games.

Hope you guys enjoy it, will appreciate any feedback.

Please note the mistake.

If the order is
iblunderAlot124 vs chesschamp2300
Took place on 2020-09-19 15:10:00, result 6 - 1

Then the result must be 1 - 6 and not 6 -1.
(follow the sequence of the player's name mentioned.)

Thank you.

@sridhar75 Thank you for the correction.
The data is taken from the tournament spreadsheet. I checked it now, and it says:

iblunderAlot124 vs chesschamp2300 on September 19th at 15:10 UTC 6 - 1

And in the tournument's thread: https://lichess.org/forum/team-horde-world-championship/hwc-2020-pairings-and-results?page=4#35
"my opponent forfeited, school is more important and needs to study
Match Score: 1-1 forfeited therefore (6-1 in my favor)

first game:"
So 6 points to iblunderAlot124, 1 to chesschamp2300, the result 6 - 1 seems to be correct. Where is the mistake?

@rubdub

Mind blowing.
I thought otherwise.

Looked at the only first game and thought
iblunderAlot124 lost 6 games. But it's not so.

Thank you for your very patient reply.
