More Than Just Putting Boards Online
Professional chess broadcasting combines reliable transmission of the games with clean visuals and stable streaming. Depending on the event, the scope ranges from pure DGT board transmission to full live production with commentators, cameras, and live direction.
The goal is always the same: to deliver the games clearly, attractively, and reliably to spectators, media, and platforms.
The Three Building Blocks of a Chess Broadcast
DGT board transmission
Live transmission of the games directly from the board – reliable, structured, and platform-compatible. The foundation of every professional chess broadcast.
Commentary & Analysis
Live commentary with analysis provides context and excitement – for viewers who want more than just seeing the moves.
Video & Live Direction
Cameras, vision mixing, overlays, and live direction create a high-quality overall impression – especially for top-level events and sponsored tournaments.
For Which Events?
- Individual and team tournaments
- Open tournaments and tournament series
- Sponsored tournaments
- Events with a live audience
- Online broadcasts without an on-site audience
Structured. Reliable. Proven Live.
Every chess broadcast begins with thorough planning: number of boards, platforms, commentary formats, technology, and workflow. Setup, testing, and live operation follow clearly defined processes to ensure a stable broadcast – even with complex setups.
Experience across a wide range of event sizes ensures that potential issues are identified and resolved before they become visible.
