Anyone submitted an event to
https://mychess.events/
At first glance it would appear that they use AI to scrape data from chess results. com
I've asked why they have included everything about my events EXCEPT the details of how to enter!
For example
https://mychess.events/event/hampshire- ... litz-2026/

Maybe the answer is because they've included a "Register for the Tournament" link. What happens if you do that? Do they perhaps ask for commission for passing entries on to you?

I followed the link and your entry form link is there and worked - am I missing the point?

They have confirmed that they do not have permission to use AI to scrape data from chess results dot com.
They have also harvested tons of data from the HJCA web site.
Heinz do not give permission for wholesale data harvesting from chess results dot com

They added the URL once I pointed out that everything was there except a link to the entry form.

The reliability of the data is questionable. For example they have
https://mychess.events/event/9th-northu ... ress-2026/ which was cancelled a couple of months age.
