If there is a winner from the coronavirus pandemic, it is the chess industry. It's no secret that the popularity of the game began to grow during the lockdowns: both the gaming audience and the number of viewers of professional tournaments that are broadcast online increased significantly. The largest events gather hundreds of thousands of viewers who follow chess around the world via a lot of different platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
In addition, chess has become more popular not only as a professional sport but also as part of the entertainment industry. Thus, amateur events with influencers are also capable of attracting tens and hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts to the screens. Many large online platforms are investing in the chess broadcasting industry: and in making decisions they (among other things) also relied on the statistics that the Esports Charts & Streams Charts previously provided. And now our team is launching a service dedicated specifically to analytics of live chess broadcasts.
Chess Watch is the cradle of everything related to chess viewership on the Internet. Among the advantages of the new service is a huge and constantly updated database of tournaments and their spectator indicators, as well as grandmasters and ordinary chess enthusiasts who broadcast live and attract a vast audience. Chess Watch is a site for those who are not only interested in the online audience of chess, but also want to increase viewership performance.
'Esports Charts has been synonymous with esports and live-events streaming analytics, and now, with great pleasure, we present Chess Watch. With enhanced filters, seamless navigation, and a fusion of data from our other resource, Streams Charts, we're not only keeping pace but also setting new standards for chess streaming insights. It's incredible to note that Chess events are already standing shoulder to shoulder in popularity with Tier-1 titles from the gaming industry, and this is just the beginning.'
