Bangalore 64 Squares — bringing live chess broadcasts to parents, coaches, players and fans across the world.
BLR64 started with a simple observation: parents shouldn't have to struggle to follow their child's chess tournament. Whether it's a State U10 championship or the World Youth Chess Championship, parents and coaches deserve a simple way to watch games live, understand the competition, and follow the action as it unfolds.
We built BLR64 — short for Bangalore 64 Squares — as a single place to watch live chess from tournaments around the world. No downloads, no complicated setups. Just open the site, pick a tournament, and start watching.
What sets us apart is our focus on youth chess. We cover age-group championships at every level — from local State events to National, Asian, and World Youth Championships. Parents can follow not just their child's games, but every game in that section, so they can understand how competitors are playing and what to expect in upcoming rounds.
Built and maintained by chess enthusiasts from Bangalore, BLR64 is a passion project born from the Indian youth chess community.
Every decision we make comes back to these principles.
Youth chess is our priority. We actively cover U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, and U18 championships.
From State-level events in India to World Championships — we broadcast wherever the games are being played.
Every game comes with Stockfish analysis. Click any move, see the evaluation, try your own ideas.
No sign-ups, no app downloads. Open the website and start watching in seconds. Works on phones too.
Whether you're a parent, coach, player, or fan — BLR64 is built to make following chess easy.
We broadcast live games from a wide range of tournaments across categories. Our admin team actively monitors and adds events as they go live, so you always have something to watch.
BLR64 was designed with chess parents in mind. When your child is competing in a big tournament, you want to know what's happening — not just in their game, but across the entire section.
Who is your child likely to face next? How are the top seeds performing? What openings are the competitors playing? BLR64 gives you the tools to answer these questions:
Browse every game in a round. Click any board to see the full notation. Use Stockfish to evaluate critical positions. All of this from your phone or laptop. No chess expertise needed — the engine does the heavy lifting.
We cover all FIDE age categories:
BLR64 pulls live game data from trusted sources including Lichess, Chess.com, and custom PGN feeds. Games are refreshed automatically so you always see the latest moves.
