Chess Media System
The Che ss M e dia Sy st e m allows chess teacher and lecurers to comment on games
while moving the pieces, drawing arrows and marking squares on the graphics
chessboard. Using a video camera or simply a microphone, chess experts can hold
lectures or comment on games, while moving the pieces on the board. These lectures
can be recorded and viewed offline.
The lectures can be transmitted live over the Internet and broadcast on the Playchess
server, or they can be recorded and distributed on CDs and DVDs.

How exactly does the ChessBase Media System work. It makes use of the Windows
Streaming Media format (the files have the ending .wmv and .wma) to capture video
and/or audio files on the fly. Whatever is done on the chessboard is recorded by the
program and instructions are embedded in the multimedia stream. When the file is
replayed everything is faithfully repeated on the graphic chessboard.
There are different way of viewing a lecture:
If you have the lecture on a CD or DVD, like the ones of Garry Kasparov, Viktor
Kortschnoi and other great teachers and trainers, then you simply open a file using "
F ile Ope n Che ss M e dia F ile ". The program will open a chess media window and you
can sit back and watch the game.
