I am grateful to them for their help and patience. These are all excellent features, but for me there is an even more special one: Tornelo’s ability to adapt to what arbiters and organisers actually need.įor the past few months, David Cordover and his team have always been there to listen, to explain, to clarify, to develop the platform and turn it into the excellent tool that it is today. Tornelo advertises features such as the “Call the arbiter” button and the in-game chat (which allows the player to stop the game and ask for the arbiter’s assistance) and the “Open zoom room” button (which provides instant access to the zoom call that has been setup).

Today, 3.5 months later, after numerous successful events on Tornelo, such as the ECU Youth, the ECU Corporate, the Balkan Youth, the FIDE Olympiad for people with Disabilities, the FIDE World Youth and the ECU Blitz for players 2300+, I can confirm that Tornelo is the best online platform for running arbiter-led events. I started using Tornelo in mid September 2020.īack then I didn’t have the slightest idea about what a “lobby” or a “token” were, let alone importing PGN and CSV files…
