"idChess is the future! You have the equipment for recording chess games recording in your pocket, no matter where you are playing. This tournament was a great example. I believe this technology will conquer the chess world and communities very easily. In Lebanon, we are very lucky to expand the use of idChess with all its helpful features for all chess enthusiasts. Players, arbiters and organizers can benefit from idChess in their own way."
