Chess.com Global Championship 2022
The Chess.com Global Championship 2022 (CGC) was the inaugural Chess.com championship that began in May with thousands of players from around the globe, and ended in November with a total prize fund of $1,000,000. This event was their first step into funding and producing a television-style broadcast with a custom fabricated set. We provided the stage design, AVL solutions, broadcast staff and our proprietary broadcasting software to broadcast a 6 day event through two remote studio sets in Toronto, Canada and Belgrade, Serbia.
