pgn4web is used for live games broadcast: the main custom live view integrates the video streaming commentaries and the pgn4web engine analysis module; a separate multiple boards custom live view allows following several games in parallel. A game archive view is provided to browse games from earlier rounds, also integrating the pgn4web engine analysis module. Please note how easily those custom views add coordinates around the pgn4web chessboard. The custom views based on pgn4web are part of a portal for chess events setup by the French chess federation.
