Unfortunately the advert that displayed at the start of the stream was extremely choppy and prevented the stream from being playable. After trying twice in 2 different browsers, eventually the ad went away, and the stream itself played OK (apart from today's other technical issues). I did miss the first 5 minutes due to this problem.
I would suggest that these ads might be destroying the experience for other users & should be investigated.

I tried to watch the So/Nakamura match on Chess TV today.
