What is ChessBase Live?

ChessBase Live is the live broadcast portal operated by ChessBase GmbH, providing real-time coverage of major international chess tournaments. During events, visitors can follow games on interactive boards with Stockfish evaluation bars updated move by move, alongside written commentary from ChessBase's team of grandmaster analysts.

Coverage typically includes the most prestigious open and invitational events on the chess calendar: the Grand Chess Tour events, European and World Championships, and major supertournaments. Past broadcasts are archived and accessible after events conclude.

ChessBase Live is free to follow without an account. It is a preferred coverage platform for players who prefer the ChessBase commentary style, and the site integrates with ChessBase software for players who want to download and analyze broadcast games locally.
