where is one able to view it for free ?
How are you going to watch the most awaited world championship tommorrow
DD sports is going to air it and it is a free to air tv channel. Tommorrow is the opening ceremoney. The games will start from 8 Nov.
for those who want to see the press conference you can go to http://www.chessdom.com/world-chess-championship-2013-opening-day-live/
I'll probably have the stream in the background and will watch it more closely from time to time when I have nothing more important to do
i am going follow on chess.dom anylise it myself then get houndini to go through the game after. if i can i might watch the going through the game on chess.com if it isn't for premium members only
When I get up at the terribly early hour of 4:45 am, they will be more than three hours into the game. On weekends, I do not arise so early.
I will not be watching live. I will go through each game first thing in the morning. If they are playing still, I will enjoy the endgame.
Watch live ~6 hour chess matches? If that isn't far more interesting than it sounds I can't believe it would be on TV or the internet for that matter...
YouTube will be running a live stream, as well as numerous smaller websites. Think of it like a telethon that you keep on and watch but not 100% of the time it is running...if you know what a telethon is...you're obviously too young to remember Fischer/Spassky or it would not be a shock to you that there is live coverage ;)...
I'll be watching whatever they give on the FIDE site unless something better shows up, video, commentary, and computer analysis / kibitzing chat. So, the full works for me, until I have to go out, which most days will mean I miss particularly exciting finishes :s
Does anybody know if there is an option to also watch using the ChessCasting software as used during the Candidates tournament?
I might be a bit odd, but I found watching the candidates tournament live absolutely fascinating, so I'm looking forward to this one. I suppose it's a bit like cricket, in that there are periods where nothing much happens, but entertaining commentary fills in the gaps. I watched Short-Kasparov live on TV (those were the days) and was cheering Nigel on when he won a game.
this is hardly the most waited for world championship of chess but might seem that way to people that have not been around more than 5 or 6 decades
Lasker-Capablanca, Capablanca-Alekhine, and Spassky-Fischer definitely may outweigh it...
Perhaps the most media-attractive one since Kramnik dethroned Kasparov, in any case :)
However, I think the title of this thread intended "most awaited" in the other sense, "most" as an adverb of degree, not as a superlative.
Please tell.
