web, 2014-2017
The World Chess is the media for chess players and those interested. The publication tells about the world of chess, provides current rating of players and broadcasts the best games from the original. On request of the FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs), the Studio has created a website that highlights events and immerses people into the world of chess.
The ranking presents statistics for each player in different game types: classic, blitz and rapid with the ability to compare with other players. By the way, the attachment of players to the color of the figures is not a legend. Therefore, in each chart you can compare how a chess player was playing both white and black figures.
During the competition a special chessboard is used, equipped with electronic sensors that capture the movement of figures. From the board information about the moves is sent to the computer of the judge of the competition, then to the server of the Federation. From the server via specially crafted gateways the information comes to the website of World Chess, transforming back into a board with figures.
The World Chess Championship of 2016 was the first time in this type of sport broadcasted with the support of virtual reality technologies. To help online viewing of the game in the format of 360° the Studio has developed an eyewear device based on Google Cardboard, and designed packaging.
Also venue branding and set of souvenirs was designed for events.
