There is the first game in the Chess WC this friday
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_2012 Anyone knows of a good place to watch it live (it doesn’t have to be the actual players, but at least the move with some competent and entertaining commentator(s)?

ICC and Playchess are probably the best places to follow it. FICS must also be a viable choice (and it’s free)

The official site is also quite good. It has engine analyses and a beautiful HD video feed

ND Short said something like "Just when things were getting exciting they declared draw"

Gelfand pulled out a win. Not like Anand to lose after managing to equalize in the opening...

Hopefully, we’ll have Carlsen or Aronian in next cycle

According to CB’s report it seems that McShane was the main receptacle for blitz brilliance!

Nakamura was mentioned in this thread, and he had a 2775 rating, a couple of weeks ago. Why isn’t he in?

i am confused that there is a tournament in 2013. I thought there was a championship every other year

It’s a tournament to decide the challenger.

The world championship will also be fought in 2013. From thence forth it will be held every other (odd numbered) year.
