Hi Yoshi, it looks very good in the high quality on youtube. Very easy to see dice, clock, etc. Nice work!

I'm not sure if it would be interesting to see the cube/move panes with running analysis of each decision, rather than the "overall" summary instead. Maybe it will take something away from the experience, and become too XG-error-focussed, I don't know.

I have a question though regarding one of the matches I clicked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFmzLKmZAYc

It's a 7 point match, but the players are playing 18 minutes + 12 second delay (as would be the norm in a 9-pointer). Is that due to the particular clock rules in play at the Osaka Open, normal clock rules in Japan, or is it simply the clock that has not been reset properly, after playing a 9-pointer??

To my surprise, both players ended up in time trouble, even with this setting, Mochy winning with only 6 seconds left on his clock (and not from DMP, I might add, the match could have been a game longer).

Best regards, Henrik

BTW: I'm clearly in favor of using the Bronstein setting on the Saiteks when broadcasting like this, since that clock doesn't have a separate delay count-down. You cannot see both players reserve time at any point, and during the last game (when Mochy is down to below 10 seconds) it's difficult to see if it is delay or reserve time that is being used, unless you keep you eye on the clock all the time! Using the Bronstein setting, both players remaining time to default is shown at all times - much more friendly to the audience IMHO (and a clock requirement in FIDE chess rules BTW)
