DRUVA AI · Chess Streamer

One phone.
Every move.
Live to the world.

Point a phone at any physical chessboard. DRUVA reads the game square by square, writes the notation in real time, and tells your audience what the best move is, before it's played.

Over-the-board chess is beautiful.
Broadcasting it is brutal.

Digital chess streams itself. The platform already knows every move. But the moment two players sit at a real board, in a club, a studio, or a tournament hall, the game goes dark. Someone has to transcribe moves by hand, relay them to a caster, and pray nobody misses a capture.

DRUVA AI Chess Streamer removes every one of those steps. A phone, a tripod, and computer vision that watches the board the way an arbiter would, plus a realtime engine feed that turns raw positions into commentary-ready analysis. Here's how the whole rig works, from tabletop to broadcast.

Step 01–02 · The Rig

A studio that fits in a backpack

Install the DRUVA Streamer app, mount any phone on any tripod, and angle it over the board. No DGT boards, no sensor pieces, no wiring. The wooden set your club already owns is the hardware.

Setup time from bag to broadcast: under 3 minutes

Step 03 · Recognition

The board becomes data

DRUVA's vision model finds the board, maps all 64 squares, and identifies every piece through glare, shadows, reaching hands, and knocked-over pawns. When the check turns green, you're ready to record.

Step 04 · Record

Notation writes itself

Press record and forget the scoresheet. Each physical move is detected in a fraction of a second and appended to a live PGN and streamed to your overlay, your co-caster, and the cloud simultaneously. Stop and save when the players shake hands.

Move-to-notation latency: ~0.3 seconds, faster than a caster can say "knight takes"

Digitizing the game was step one.
Understanding it live is the show.

Every other capture tool stops at notation. DRUVA keeps going: the moment a position changes, it's handed to a realtime analysis engine, and the output is written twice: once in chess notation for the purists in chat, and once in plain English for everyone else.

That means a streamer never goes quiet hunting for the point of a position, a podcaster can react to a blunder the second it lands, and a broadcaster gets grandmaster-grade talking points without a grandmaster on payroll.

Best move in notation and English

Every new position is analyzed in realtime. DRUVA shows the strongest continuation as clean notation for the scoreboard, and as a plain-English talking point your audience actually understands, plus alternate lines and blunder alerts.

Step 05 · Broadcast & Share

From club table to live audience

The digitized board, eval bar and AI caster-cards compose straight into your stream overlay (OBS, vMix, or the DRUVA web player). When the game ends it's saved automatically: replay it, annotate it, or share the full analyzed PGN with one link.

One rig serves the stream, the scoreboard, the archive, and the post-game podcast simultaneously
