As we can see, broadcasting rights of Candidates is strictly restricted. Agon, that has the broadcasting rights, has disallowed all other chess sites to show real time moves. It itself is providing very poor viewership experience at worldchess .com.

For a game like chess that already has low viewership, such restrictions are a disaster for the game. What do u think guys?

I see it like you. You might explain me what Agon is though?
