# Partida

> Partida turns a chess game into a narrated video. Give it a PGN — or pick a game from a live tournament broadcast — and it produces an MP4 in which a synthetic voice comments the game move by move, over an animated board. It also narrates tournament games live, in the browser, as the moves arrive.

The site is multi-language: every page exists in Brazilian Portuguese, English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, Italian, German, Dutch, Romanian and Chinese, and the language is the first segment of the path (`/pt-BR/…`, `/en/…`, `/es/…`, `/hi/…`, `/ru/…`, `/it/…`, `/de/…`, `/nl/…`, `/ro/…`, `/zh/…`). They are canonical translations of one another and declare each other with `hreflang`; `/pt-BR` is the `x-default`. The canonical host is `https://www.partida.live` — the bare domain redirects to it with a 301.

There are three kinds of public content page:

- **Game pages** (`/<lang>/v/<slug>`): one narrated game each. They carry the video with its chapter markers, a printed move list, the raw PGN, the game's metadata (players, event, date) and a written summary. Marked up as `VideoObject`.
- **Player pages** (`/<lang>/jogador/<name>-<fideId>`): the archive of one player across the tournaments Partida has covered — the games, the opponents, the results. Identity is the FIDE ID, which is what disambiguates players with the same name. Marked up as `Person`. Only players with at least three broadcast games get a page.
- **Live broadcasts** (`/<lang>/ao-vivo/…`): games from a tournament being played right now, narrated as they happen. These are deliberately **not indexable** and are absent from the sitemap: a live game's URL stops meaning anything within hours.

Narration is audited, not trusted: claims about attacks, defenses, captures, checks and castling are checked against facts computed from the position before they are spoken, and a claim the position does not support is rewritten from verifiable data only. Video durations come from the rendered audio, never from an estimate.
