Imagine you're trying to track a major chess tournament. Usually, you'd have to keep several tabs open, watching live streams on one screen while trying to find specific move lists or player ratings on another. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the heavy lifting. Instead of clicking through menus, you just ask your agent to find out who's currently playing on Lichess TV or what a specific grandmaster's recent form looks like. It digs into the raw data of the platform to pull out things like team rosters, live streamer status, and deep match logs. It's a huge time-saver for anyone who needs to stay on top of the global chess scene. You can even use it to solve daily puzzles or audit a player's history to see how they handle specific opening patterns. It makes the massive amount of data on Lichess actually usable for your specific goals. Getting this connected through Vinkius makes it easy to plug into your existing workflow, whether you're building a scouting tool or just want a better way to follow the game. It turns your AI into a researcher that knows the board inside and out. ## Tools ### get_users_online_status Check if multiple users are online.
