For the first time ever: idChess digitized giant chess tournament
On May 19, the team tournament "Big chess" was held with the support of idChess. Six teams from chess schools participated in the tournament.
The event was held simultaneously on two floors of the shopping mall. The mobile phone was placed on the upper floor, while the participants were playing on the lower floor.
The atmosphere was friendly. The teams consisted of 8 people on one board. The tournament was unusual: players could walk on the board, watch the broadcast on the big screen, and make decisions together. Fans were also invited to the event.
“idChess is a universal tool for chess players and tournament organizers. idChess does not focus on the size of a board or the material of pieces. It works with giant chess as well! Our idea was to emphasize the scale of idChess as a platform. There are no restrictions”.
Games of the first ever giant chess tournament with broadcast are available at live.idchess.com.
