Vadim is right, I have a lot of experience in organizing high-level chess broadcasts and I am happy to help with my expertise. Good commentators and production is by no means cheap, though.Quote:

The type of commentary that I think would be required here would be at a level that a novice player could follow.Quote:

Thank you Anna for continuing to provide your input!Quote:

From my viewpoint, in the case where there WILL be an OTB World Cup, but we need to consider online determination of the Canadian representative(s), I've been proposing to Vlad and Hal that we meet with the top players to AGREE on structure, and especially Fair Play measures. Perhaps that and the CBC coverage could reach a welcome convergence. For example, exactly WHAT to stream at any given moment would be enriched by multiple concurrent games with double camera angles and shared screens, etc.
P.S. I'm now contacting three online platforms with questions of what features I would like as Organizer/Arbiter of such an event. Let's keep talking about this!
Please keep me in the loop of the situation on the Women side. If the players agree on something and FIDE allows it (Zonals are level 1 tournaments with enhanced anti-cheating protection), then I fully support this.Quote:
