At New Year Chess Festival, the top board and the second board were broadcasted live on YouTube.
FM Kohei Yamada, who is well known on YouTube and OPENREC.TV NCS channel, was the play-by-play announcer, and Taro Shinoda joined the commentary from the third round.
There were also interviews with the participants and guest commentators who jumped in to commentate, making for a very lively broadcast.
