hi:

offtopic.

Im wondering if there is a way to combine a jin chess interface with a small program similar to Loudtalks so that a group of people could observe a live chess presentation and audio interact with the presenter. That is, members of the group could "observe" the presentation the same way you observe a game in fics and icc with added audio capabilities. The new platform should also have buttons to download the presentation in pgn form and a button to open a visor to go over games or typical positions related to the main presentation. The group should not be able to private chat or talk among themselves but only speak in public. sounds interesting?
