What is the best way to watch live chess matches?

 

I was eager to watch Magnus Carlsen play live from Sao Paolo this weekend but I couldn't find a single live stream. These days having live streams is crucial for the popularity of any game, and with chess' current standing in the popularity game I would think people would be very keen on making the game more accessible to the everyday man. But still I couldn't find a single stream.

 

Maybe I'm just not looking at the right place. Where should I go to find live chess streams? If they have live commentators that would be even better.

Aronian beat Karjakin, they think Carlsen probably has a winning advantage over Caruana (but now has opposite bishops).

Thanks. So where should I go to find streams for the next tournament I want to watch? Is there a site that lists them (or should I just ask here again :) )?

I just happened to find a link on chessgames, but otherwise I think just google searching.

I like http://chessbomb.com. It has live chat, and live engine analysis where you can check the different variations.

Caruana beats Carlsen!
