ChessBase India Broadcast Feature

This is a React-based application that allows broadcasters to display multiple evaluation bars for different chess games happening simultaneously. The project was created using `create-react-app`.

Real-time Updates: The evaluation bars update in real-time, providing viewers with a dynamic and up-to-date view of the games.
Customizable Layouts: The broadcaster can customize the layout of the evaluation bars, adjusting their size, position, and arrangement to suit their preferences.
Responsive Design: The application is designed to be responsive, ensuring a great user experience on various devices and screen sizes.

2.Deploy to Production: When you're ready to deploy the application to production, use the following command:

npm run build

This will create an optimized production build that you can deploy to your hosting platform.

Select Tournament: To display the games , use the /evalbars route, you should be able to see ongoing tournaments, if you see no tournaments that means no tournaments are going on . To still use and test it, you can use a old lichess broadcast link in the custom url input box. You can select the desired tournament/tournaments and then click on Confirm button , and select the required bars and then click "Add selected games bar"
Customize Layout: Adjust the layout of the evaluation bars by modifying the customize the bars button.
