World Chess Ranking

World Chess Ranking

For this assignment, I had six weeks to create an insightful visualization using D3, Svelte, and an API of my choice. I chose to work with the Chess.com API in combination with the World Bank API.

My visualization aims to provide users with insight into which countries perform best on the Chess.com leaderboards. A challenge I encountered was that large countries almost always rank in the top 5 simply because they have more players.

To make the ranking fairer, I retrieved population data from the World Bank, allowing me to create a balanced ranking that takes the number of players per capita into account.
