Analysed games in live broadcasts

Answer

On our news site we offer live broadcasts of important tournaments.

You can follow these tournaments directly in your browser. You will find an introduction to doing that here …

At the bottom of the board window with the games list you will find a listing of all the games of the tournament being broadcast.

Clicking for example on “2”, displays in the games list under the replay board all the games from round 2. With a mouse click, moreover, you can change directly to the tournaments which are displayed printed in red under the information about the rounds.

Naturally the games which are especially interesting are those which already contain analysis. In the example we are showing you will find the entry “Analysis (54)”. Therefore for the tournament being displayed/broadcast at the moment there are 54 analysed game available. A click on this and the program loads into the games list below the replay board all those games which already contain analysis or commentary!

Further useful help to guide you while you are playing through a game is found in an evaluation profile integrated within the game. The evaluation profile is a graphic display of the evaluation of positions carried out during the game by the chess program which is running in the background. With the help of the evaluation profile below the notation you can tell at a glance as you play through in whose favour the game is “tipping”.

If you click on any position in the evaluation profile, the relevant position is immediately loaded and displayed on the board window. In addition, the program also offers in the evaluation profile a hint in plain text to the evaluation of the current position. So it only takes a few clicks during broadcasts to load interesting games and navigate directly to the moves which decide the game and to the critical phase of the game.

How are these analyses produced during the live broadcasts? In the background on several servers chess engines are running, constantly evaluating the moves as they are played and producing their evaluation profile of the game.  According to the load on the servers, free resources are allocated for the analysis of games and these are displayed in the list of analysed games. Be aware that within the notation many textual comments generated by the engines are to found strewn throughout the games.
