DGT, a leading chess technology company, recently organized two e-Board Operator Seminars alongside the prestigious 46th FIDE Chess Olympiad in Samarkand. These seminars were designed to enhance the skills of participants in managing chess tournaments using DGT’s innovative tools.
Training and Engagement at the Seminars
Led by the experienced instructor Frans Peeters, the program attracted a diverse group of 46 participants from 33 countries and territories. The seminars ran over two mornings, focusing primarily on the setup and management of tournaments utilizing DGT e-Boards and the LiveChess platform. This hands-on approach allowed attendees to practice with the equipment, ensuring they could effectively apply the knowledge gained during the sessions.
Throughout the seminars, participants demonstrated a strong interest in the material and engaged actively in discussions and practical exercises. This level of engagement not only enhanced their understanding of the technology but also fostered a collaborative environment where ideas and best practices were shared among attendees.
At the conclusion of each seminar, participants were rewarded for their commitment and hard work. They received a gift bag filled with company-branded items, as well as a certificate recognizing their achievement as a qualified DGT e-Board Operator. This certification signifies their readiness to assist in bringing live, online coverage to chess tournaments, an essential aspect of modern chess events.
Overall, the DGT e-Board Operator Seminars were a resounding success, equipping a new group of operators with the skills necessary to enhance the chess tournament experience. As technology continues to play a pivotal role in the evolution of chess, initiatives like these ensure that operators are well-prepared to meet the demands of the future.
