Olympiad Coverage

Hope the USA can sneak in to win a medal.Lookind forward to the broadcast. A nice win by Kamsky today in Round 9. Would have been a great game to analyse...
Ernie

you know i would gladly arrange for some chess event to ever be at a convenient hour for myself for coverage.
Ernie, the Kamsky game was analyzed this morning in my round 9 review. every day i've done a "review" show for that day's round; just not live analysis, bc i don't care to be up all night (nor do my housemates who would be awakened by the commentary). the show is also recorded in the on-demand library, but you have to be platinum or diamond to watch.

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/hypothetical-situation?lc=1#last_comment Can you answer this?

So how come I can never watch this mysterious and legendary Chess TV even on times it should be available for non-premium scumbags?

Well there's this schedule of dates when it should be available when I try it, it shows me the same screen of only platinum/diamond members are allowed

The livestream website only allows registered members to watch or something like that

"Unfortunately chesscom has been made private. Videos from this channel will not be available on the Livestream website."

the only show that basic members could see this week was on Monday-- did you try watching that show and get the demo only screen?
Just an announcement that there will be live coverage of the penultimate round (10) of the Olympiad tomorrow at 3 am Pacific / 11 am Uk / http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
