Choose this endpoint when you need structured, curated chess-specific news from Chess.com — particularly for tournament results, FIDE title and rating changes, or world championship cycle updates. Prefer it over general news APIs when the query is chess-specific and you want clean, pre-filtered sports data without noise from unrelated topics.

## Known failure modes
