Reason for Sale
I am focusing on my other businesses. I built this project with exit strategy in mind: to be acquired by an online chess platform (such as chess.com or other players). However, it will require more development before it shows more tractions to attract buyers. I don't have time for that at the moment as I need to focus on my other businesses. (although I only spent 2-4 hours a week in the last 1.5 years to develop this)
About the Business
This business is an online chess learning platform focused on chess openings, real games, and puzzle-based discovery. Its core asset is a highly structured opening explorer that connects chess openings to real annotated games and puzzles, creating an evergreen, SEO-driven content system.
A key feature is a single hub page that links to 3,300+ individual chess opening pages, each representing a long-tail search opportunity. This internal-linking structure provides strong crawl depth for search engines and forms the foundation for organic traffic growth over time.
The platform is built using a modern stack (Next.js with a database-backed content system) and was designed to scale content programmatically rather than manually. Openings, games, and puzzles are generated from structured chess data, making it suitable for further expansion into learning paths, subscriptions, or integrations with existing chess products.
The site currently operates with minimal overhead, no employees, and low ongoing maintenance. Monetisation has been intentionally kept light, leaving clear upside for a buyer to develop paid features, courses, memberships, or partnerships with chess content creators.
This business is best suited for a buyer with interest in chess, SEO content platforms, or online education who wants a ready-built, technically solid asset with a large long-tail content footprint and clear growth paths.
