Following live broadcasts with the app

Answer

We are constantly offering live broadcasts of tournaments as they happen.

These are broadcast on the web page https://live.chessbase.com and all that is needed for access in addition to a web connection is a browser. This site is also very well suited to the following of live broadcasts on your smartphone or tablet.

The screenshot shows an excerpt from that page. You find a list of current tournaments which are being broadcast. The way to spot a broadcast which is actually on air is if the little blue aerial symbol is being displayed.

If a tournament has already finished and the games are still available to play through, you will see the entry for the tournament without the blue aerial symbol.

A click suffices to open the tournament page. That sets in motion the tried and trusted setup to allow you to play through games with the PGN replayer. Below the board there is the list of games and a click on the game entry is all that is needed to load the game so as to play through it.

The way the PGN replayer works has already been described in detail on another page.

Below the chess board the user will find the list of games from the tournament which is being broadcast.

What exactly do the little symbols in front of the players’ names mean? The symbol representing an eye means that the game which is being marked by it can be found in one of the small broadcast boards. The little light bulb shows the user that a move has just been made in that game.

What information is being conveyed, e.g., by the value 2.7 under the column heading “Rnd”? This gives you information about the round which is being played, for example the 2.7 means: second round, seventh game. That has been a long tiebreak.
