Any camera.
Every board.
Live.

We turn the cameras chess clubs already have into live broadcasts of every physical game: position, moves and PGN for each board. No sensor boards and no per-board hardware.

Already live: 45 boards broadcast at once · 595 viewers in one day · in weekly use at Israel's largest club.

Over-the-board chess is invisible online.

Chess.com and Lichess broadcasts depend on DGT sensor boards, so only elite events are streamed. Weekly club and youth games are almost never broadcast.
