A look behind the scenes – Project Game Recording

A novelty at this World Cup is the "Project Game Recording". Each day all 216 games of the round are being recorded. In "Game-Recording-Office" six team-members are working hard to enter all played matches into the computer. These are directly sent to the ChessBase-cloud and can be replayed at any time. A big advantage for all players, as they can prepare for their next opponents straightforward. To master this challenge, a detailed operational plan was conducted by the team leader Hugo Schulz. The plan and the team are so good that the games are usually already fully recorded at 5.00 pm.

Social Program – Visit of the Meißen Porcelain Manufactory

Aside from the exciting matches of this round, cultural highlights were also taking place. On Thursday we went to Meißen to the world famous porcelain factory. By order of August the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, the secrets of the production of porcelain were being researched in Meißen. It was highly popular in Europe at the time, but it had to be imported from China at exorbitant prices. In 1708 the team led by Johann Friedrich Boettger succeeded producing the white porcelain – marking the birth of European porcelain. In 1710 the porcelain manufactory was established on the Albrechtsburg Meißen. The group was led through the open workshop area. Afterward, they visited the show rooms of the manufactory.
