The goal of chessResults is to make it easier to scrape chess-results.com in R. It currently returns a list of 5 elements: tournament information, starting rank, playing schedule, pairings/results for rounds, and closing rank. It does all of this in a polite manner to ensure that the chess-results.com servers are not overwhelmed. Just supply the URL or the ID that is in the URL to the function and you are done.
NOTE: the package currently does not support scraping tournament information for tournaments older than 5 days, and you will be warned about it when you scrape those pages.
You can install the latest version of chessResults from CRAN like so:
install.packages("chessResults")library(chessResults)
data <- chess_results("1445162")
