Score: 3.7/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 3, Documentation: 3, Utility: 4)

ChessRanks is a weekly chess leaderboard that ranks players based on checkmates, positions, and rarity-weighted trophies, offering an alternative to traditional ELO ratings. The project presents an interesting approach to chess analytics but currently lacks technical details, source code, and thorough documentation.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers
