I wanted there to be an easy way to watch top level online chess in almost real time so I created a youtube channel called chess-almost-live, that livestreams recently completed games on chess.com (and that other site as well). Here's how it works: a live stream kicks off whenever a minimum of 4 top games conclude within the past 30 minutes. A game is selected and replayed and when it finishes, viewers get to vote on the next game to stream by commenting in the chat.
I am hoping that the channel makes these top games more accessible to a wider audience and can serve to grow chess and help people (myself included!) improve their game. The lofty goal is to create a little chess community and collaborate with other channels. If anyone has any questions, wants to collaborate, or simply wants to understand the technical side or the code, I would be happy to chat! Also, a huge thanks to chess.com for their amazing API!
