What are the best free ways to watch the upcoming championships in NY in November?  And what do you recommend for getting live commentary?

I think you can also watch it at the world chess website.

 

world chess ran into a lot of criticism when they tried to monopolize the candidates tournament.   they seemed to have learned their lesson and have adopted a much friendlier attitude about the wcc's.

 

that being that offer free access, allow competitors to have their own coverage and offer inexpensive 3d coverage for a minimal amount of money.

 

regarding the 3d option- some might see this as a gimmick but the idea is that they will simulate the view of being At the board as the WCC is fought.

 

instead I choose to see it in a very positive light.  the access is inexpensive and visual would be interesting.

they say better than I can.

again. its looks like a good deal, and if I thought I could freely watch the world championship in real time- I might strongly consider paying for it.  (cuz I think it looks like a good deal)
