How this chess guide makes money
By Rank Timber editorial team Current release, published September 22, 2025
Rank Timber publishes an independent chess install guide. The site does not sell sponsored articles and receives no money from PyChess or from any commercial chess vendor. This page explains how funding would work if ads or partners are enabled later.
Display ads
Ad slots exist in the layout with reserved height so enabling them later does not shift content. Ads are off by default.
Partner links
No partner links are configured. Links to PyChess, GitHub, and commercial vendors are plain links.
What money never buys
- A changed download URL. Installers always point at GitHub Releases.
- A hidden ranking for a commercial chess website.
- A recommendation. Whether a competitor is described as better or worse depends on the comparison, not on who advertises.
