A computer-vision system turns chess clubs’ existing cameras into live positions, move lists and PGNs for games played on physical boards.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: Chess clubs and tournament organizers
Worth noticing: The system reports 45 boards broadcast simultaneously using existing cameras rather than sensor-equipped boards.

Field notes

The workflow starts with ordinary overhead camera footage: boards are found and straightened, squares are classified, and moves are reconstructed against chess rules. The homepage shows footage from Ramat Gan and describes both a venue-side processing box and cloud GPU inference. Its reported deployments span three clubs, with 50+ cameras and 100+ boards; those operating figures are site-provided.
