European Chess Union has launched ECU TV – a multi project which includes the development of tournament games coverage.
The project consists of four main pillars:
- Branding & Design (including visual identity of the ECU TV and comprehensive brand book. Branding and Design of the ECU TV will include complete setup for OBS live streaming of the events, altogether with animations and transitions, custom intros and outros)
- Web developments (including the development of the ECU TV platform which presents past and upcoming ECU tournaments and archive of games and live streams)
- Tournament coverage (a new gaming platform which is presenting live games and streaming)
- Media guidelines (ECU published the ECU Media Guide defining media standards for the ECU tournaments. The Guide was approved by the ECU General Assembly 2024 and was included in the ECU Rulebook)
European Chess Union notes that the ECU TV platform will be running in a trail mode for the next few months, testing and improving all technical features.
“European Chess Union is taking a further step towards institutional development and communication to enhance the European Championships experience and provide more promotional opportunities for sponsors and supporters. We endeavour to provide the best possible services to our members, chess players and fans”, reads the ECU Press Release.
The project was co-supported by the FIDE Development Fund.
