I'm a below average chess player, with above average enthusiasm about chess.
The 2 goals of this project are:
- To answer interesting questions chess related questions.
- To practice and improve my python programming skills.
To address these, I use python to analyse chess.com data and answer the following question.
Question | Blog | Jupyter Notebook |
---|---|---|
How has The Queen's Gambit impacted the popularity of online chess? | blog | jnb |
Data wrangling and plotting code is found in the jupyter notebooks and longer, API-querying jobs are located in scripts.
This analysis is made possible thanks to chess.com's API and the accompanying python wrapper.
