GUI on the page

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

I am looking for information on where I can buy GUI for a website so that other users can view the website. Thank you in advance for the information.

It is not clear what you are asking. Websites are viewed with the aid of a 'web browser' like Edge, Chrome, FireFox or Safari, which usually comes for free with your operating system.

What exactly would the 'GUI' you mention have to show, and on which website would you want to put it?

GUI such as on TCEC.

AFAIK Lichess GUI is open source....

https://lichess.org/source

you will need an webserver with some interpreter to run the code, for sure some skill level in webprogramming in need to get it running/customized.

There are many free software packages to broadcast games. I think Ed Schröder composed one, I have used ChessLive! myself, Graham is using TLCV...

To show anything to the outside world you would need a webserver, though, either web space rented at a provider (such as a VPS or some disk space on a shared server), or you would have to open one of your own machines to the outside world, and install server software there. Then you can install the dedicated chess broadcasting software in that server.

A chess GUI that runs directly on the website is possible. I have tried to compile my chess GUI into WebAssembly and it could run well directly on web pages. However, because of security reasons, the chess GUI has many limitations such as it has to run with chess engines compiled into WebAssembly too, be trimmed out many functions... Thus it is good for a demo but not for real chess tournamences.

To show playing games as TCEC, you actually don't need a chess GUI for the Website. What you need is a normal chess GUI to play on your computer and some normal apps to publish/stream live those games (show anything on your screen).

If you want TCEC style: it uses Cute Chess CLI (a chess tournament manager in the command line, not GUI) and then publishes playing games with their own software. All are open source at https://github.com/TCEC-Chess/tceccutechess
