Shall I pay to watch WCC?
Sort:
I did, I'm a fan and wanted full access. I have to say if they sort it out it's quite cool, but it was very glitchy yesterday and the commentary is in some serious need of The Rensch. I don't know about players getting money though, maybe someone else can enlighten us :)
ah. forgive me for stating/asking this.... ....i thought the broadcast is free (on a certain site which I can't name because of CC's T&C)
yes sorry Carla๐ it was the moves thing I saw, no commentary things ....not the live feed from the game. ....but there is another site I saw...I'll need to look again

no. I dont find the drama of watching a chessmatch in realtime interesting. Unlike a boxing match or poker, I'd rather just go through the game on my own after its completed

Pulp provided a broadcast link in the "Official" thread but I'm not sure if it works?
The income from the broadcast has no effect on the player's prize fund, which was fixed by FIDE and is written into their playing contract.
Agon have stated that they need 200,000 subscribers to break even and apparently they already have "over 100,000". You can find more details on this in the chess.com news feed.

I enjoy watching the games live too. Bit peeved about having to subscribe for it frankly, especially given that the presentation is so ropey.
Yes, that might be worth a try. I think it might just be the moves without the commentry though.
8 pm in the capital of the empire, then?
2pm EST, I think 1pm must have been the opening ceremony.

at least are the color commentators for the live pay version top 10 guys? Anand or nakamura?
