"It is a very handy technology. I didn’t even notice anything above the board until you reminded me that there was a broadcast,” Victor commented afterward. "There was no discomfort during the game, nothing distracted me from the board. Broadcasts are great because there are exhibitions of different levels: sometimes you get a lot of beautiful combinations, and you can share them later.

For example, I won a game against Anatoly Karpov in 1985, but the score sheet has been lost and I don't remember the whole game. And modern games are much easier to save using idChess. And it is also very usefulfor children."
