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

Avatar of Bunnah77

What time does it start though?

Avatar of ajmeroski

15.00 Indian Time. It's 10.30 GMT +1, don't know about your time though.

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.

Nice Zyriab.

I never thought of opposite times.

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 ;)...

Probably watch somewhere, at the first hint of a Slav I am off.

Avatar of AnastasiaStyles

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?

Avatar of notmuchcop

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.
