The moves were announced and I believe they were following along with chess-specific score/move sheets in their hands. I wouldn't be surprised if the move announcements were all that would be necessary, though for a bunch of chess fanatics.
I saw a documentary that featured a dramatic reenactment of a scene like this and that's how it went 🤷
At the time of this match, I do believe they had overhead projectors (the kind that magnify whatever is placed on their surface). So they might have had a projector-specific (with the necessary transparency) chessboard projected behind/above the camera also showing the moves.
Another way I've seen it done is with magnetic pieces on a giant blackboard-like surface that had the squares drawn/painted on. There would be a person on each side with a pole that could move the pieces. One person would be assigned to white, the other to black.
If everyone is sitting up high like that a simple extra large chessboard on the floor nearby would suffice as well. They could even place it down at an angle for the audience to view. I don't know if they did that but I was thinking about it, "how would I do it without modern technology?" That's probably how I'd do it 🤷

A more accurate headline: Spotify commits fraud by intentionally falsifying the recordings of dead artists.
AI doesn't really matter much for this story. They could've hired someone for a pittance to make said songs and then committed the same kind of fraud.
The fraud is the problem here. Not the fact that they used AI. They could've used 2000s-era music generation algorithms and the fraud would be the same.
I'm just telling it like it is. The old ways were terrible! However, being local and requiring proper collateral instead of just giving n people money en mass—knowing that the percentage that default will be outweighed by the percentage that pay the loan back (and ripping people off by making them pay the interest up front)—was probably better for the economy.
Not everyone should be allowed to amass debt the way we currently allow it. Furthermore, if people couldn't get loans for school so easily (in fact, guaranteed!) then college tuition would be but a fraction of what it is today.
...which is funny because the way things are going, the tiny people living in Japan will share the same fate as homo floresiensis (hobbit-sized species of humans that lived on an island nation of sorts and we've extinct). Thousands of years from nowz archeologists will compare the two and wonder if homo floresuensis were equally as racist.
The last "true" Japanese person (according to them)—someone named, Sato—will be heard shouting that "it's all the immigrants fault" as they die of heat exhaustion about 200-250 years from now.
Collateral and, historically, age, race, sex, and ethnicity. They'd also look at how well you were dressed because 100% of the time you went to the bank in-person to get a loan. Also, your bank wouldn't be far from where you lived and the local population wasn't so large that they couldn't just "ask around" the local social network to see if this man before them was upstanding enough to warrant giving them money.
Also note that people didn't need to borrow money as much as they do today. You wanted a new home appliance like an oven or refrigerator? You saved for quite some time to buy it.
There weren't as many things to spend your money on either!
This would be awesome... If there was a single Android app that I'd want to use on my desktop.
This is why I'm baffled by Google's plan to merge Android and Chrome Desktop. Why would anyone want that?
No. Stay at home and have access to whatever snacks you want (and seemingly infinite other benefits).
If your job says, "no—come into the office." Find a new job. At least start looking!
We've been waiting for that since 1824!
You'll often find it on rulers, yard sticks, and measuring tape 👍
I have an extremist view of the legal system: I think all lawyers should be government employees and they should be assigned cases based on their area of expertise in law.
So no matter how many people sue you and no matter how much legal harassment any given entity attempts, it's the government's problem to manage all of that.
It shouldn't be possible to bankrupt someone with legal fees alone. It shouldn't be possible for a billionaire (or corporation) to always have the best legal team. It shouldn't cost millions of dollars to defend yourself from or litigate a patent.
The only way I can think of to solve these problems is to get rid of private firms.
