Reviews

"This is the future. First of all, for live streaming and, in part, to fight cheating; what concerns illegal moves, i.e. everything related to the touch-move rule or the correct setting of pieces".
Arkady Dvorkovich

FIDE President
"We have implemented idChess into the Federation tournaments and see great benefits. Firstly, we conduct tournament broadcasts for people with visual impairments, they play on boards specially adapted for the visually impaired. Thus, we solve the issues of equality at the chessboard through technological solutions".

Executive director of the Kyrgyz Chess Union
"It is very important and necessary to broadcast chess games, because both tournaments and exhibitions can be of different levels: sometimes you get a lot of beautiful combinations, and then you can analyze or publish them. Previously, chess players had some kind of exceptional memory, they remembered all their games and exhibitions, but I'm not like that, so this technology helps me a lot. It is especially useful for children: when the halls are large, parents are never allowed in and here everything is visible on the screen. I think this technology has a great future.".

"idChess is a necessary and convenient product for both players and fans, especially for parents. You can watch games from a distance, and not be in the hall where the game is being played. Also, idChess can help arbiters to make decisions by recording video simultaneously with recognition, so it's convenient and easy to use".

"idChess is a very promising program that is useful to us. I, as a state coach, on behalf of all Kazakhstani chess players, thank the company for entering the market. Now we can digitize not only large famous tournaments, but also small ones, for example, in private schools and universities. We have only 20 regions, and I would like everyone to cover their championships in the future. I see great opportunities and I am personally very glad".

"idChess is incredibly in demand among tournament organizers, coaches, and parents. This technology easily and quickly allows you to collect an array of data on chess games, which helps in learning. idChess gives emotions to parents who can watch their children play in real time. That is great!"

"With simple actions, you get a record of your game – this is what modern chess lacked so much and what is so necessary for teaching the game to children, parents, coaches".

"Parents can watch their children play in tournaments; players can review and analyze their games. Everything is so easy and understandable. I recommend using idChess to anyone who wants to improve in chess".

"We use idChess in our chess school not only when holding tournaments to broadcast games but at every lesson too. Using idChess, I record games on one or two boards and then we together with children analyze their games, it's great learning material!"

"I was waiting for something like this to be created. The audience of chess players is very progressive, and we lacked such a service that would be fast and understandable.".

"My son often plays in tournaments. I used to ask him questions about the game, and he often could not answer why he lost or how he won. Now I can follow the game myself and then discuss it with him, be ready to praise or support him. Thanks to idChess, I became more involved in tournament games and enjoy going to tournaments twice a month".

"One of the advantages of idChess is its ease of use. Our six-year-old child quickly understood the app himself and now he starts game recording when he plays at home. For example, he records all the games played with his grandfather, then they watch and analyze their games".

"You can play a game and immediately share it. It's nice that you can do it right away, but not when you restore the game a week later and send a photo of the form via Telegram. I think all chess players will agree that having the opportunity to talk about your game offline is great".
