Yes it is, he sent his wife home and Liv was the consolation prize for losing to Anand. That´s why he played so unboringly in the Candidate´s ...
I thought game 1 was Saturday morning at 5:30 am (I'm in NC.U.S) but was on the site worldchesschampionship2013.com (I think. Maybe another site) and it says game 1 is Friday. No, the time differences don't account for THAT much of a discrepancy. Which is it?

Thanks for the thread and the links; much appreciated.
What time does the match start, for U.S times?
Just a little over 2 and a half hours to go.
I think a draw on a half way
10 minutes to go!
The official coverage has started!
@shepi13 where can i watch the official coverage..link pls
Poor Liv, she looked bored. She was probably just trying to pretend she was interested in chess to be polite. Magnus should've been doing anything other than chess with her.
Poor Magnus is bored too, he´d seen the photo of Liv Tyler with Gelfand and had been expecting a bit more romance:

PS my personal World Championship story - I somehow had the idea that the first match was to have been today and I couldn´t sleep last night ... 10:15 local time I switched on the laptop and went to chessbomb ... huh? Then further to the official site ... one of the biggest disappointments of the last few years! So I´m looking forward to Saturday now.
