#freechessmoves We believe that chess world deserve better
The Issue
We believe that CHESS is more then just a sport that can bring money to a few circle of people.
CHESS is art, passion, feelings, hope.
The Candidates' Tournament 2016 is being held in Moscow with an exclusive broadcast by AGON, severely limiting viewership and causing an uproar in the chess community. It feels like this sport has reached rock bottom.
We insist about simple but important choices:
- We want to see the moves! How spectators can enjoy a game if they can't have a solid reference about the game evolution?
- We want to see the time elapsed for each move and a CORRECT engine evaluation about the game, move by move and real-time!
- We want to see the players and the games! You have 4 camera that are fix on each board. We want 4 different video, one for each board, that are focused on BOTH players faces, the board and the clock. Then one more video for the broadcast with the commentary, random quiz, dubious interviews and painful advertisements.
- We want a global chat where the viewers can commentate and share their opinions real-time! Posting tweets is fine, but a live global chat is such a great improvement.
These requests are the MINIMUM standard we can expect in 2016, with modern technology and the growing interest for this fascinating game.We are sure about one thing: these requests are for everyone's benefit, the players’, the supporters’, the commentators’, the organizers’, the investors’.
