I will probably watch it using FIDE Youtube channel as main (but will also follow chess.com and chess24) and then hoping for some interesting stuff on Norways National TV NRK (wich I can se).
World Chess Championship 2021
Sort:
We are 1 week away.
I got Magnus winning
obviously magnus will win, it's not even a question
Does anyone know what the 'viewing options' are for the World Champs this week? I saw this link for Chess24's coverage but will it show live action of Carlsen & Nepo? And where have Jan and Peter Svidler gone? I am sure chess.com will have good coverage too but what is their plan? Sorry if I have missed other posts or news elsewhere on this subject. I think during the last World Champs you could only watch the live action of the players by signing up/paying World Chess for their stream?
I would like to know if there is an official broadcast/coverage of the games (in English).

Yes
I think I've figured out it's at 1 pm eastern u.s. time. I hope that's right because I don't want to miss the first move.
I think it's 7 am eastern standard time. 🤔

2nd game offered some exciting moments ended in draw.

I do wish the games were played at a faster time period. Two games a day, each player has each color. Time limit cut in half, 15 minute break between games. Looking at my own draw percentages, it's 9% draws at Dailey time controls, 5% for rapid, 4% blitz, and 2% draws when playing bullet. So I would expect to see fewer draws, less interviews during the games, and of course twice as many games.
Game 3 = draw

I was thinking the match format can be changed to the following:
- best of 12 classical games (allowing up to 7 hours of play). If this is tied, then:
- best of 12 fast-classical games: 60 minutes + 30-sec increment for whole game (two games per day)
- If champion gets draw-odds if it's still a tie only if he wins at least 4 games throughout the whole match. Otherwise both the champion and challenger has to play in the next Candidates Tournament to qualify for the next title match.
Starts in November 24 thru December 16.
