During the first days of the University of Twente Young Masters tournament (www.onjk.nl), a live test with the FoidosChess TV, the new video presentation system for the World Chess Championship Anand vs Kramnik match in October in Bonn, was tested. As the tests went fine on the first two days, the developers of Foidos, Chess Media Services (a joint venture with DGT), are ready to open the system will to about 300 extra viewers.

You can view a demo of FoidosChess at www.foidoschess.tv where DGT is showing footage of the video recordings of the Kramnik simul against Marie Sebag and Jan Werle earlier this year at DGT Headquarters in Enschede, NL.
