Anand-Kramnik LIVEAs from today you can watch the games of the World Chess Championship match between Anand and Kramnik LIVE.

Because of Foidos, the new online chess game broadcast system, all other websites, including the offical website of the World Chess Championship, could only broadcast the games of the Anand-Kramnik with a half-hour delay.

After it turned out that Playchess, and other sites, ignored the half-hour delay that was enforced by the organizers and Foidos, yesterday ICC also decided to simply bring the moves live online.

And so as from today, Foidos drops the 30-minute delay rule, so from now on you can watch the World Championship games live, in real-time, at ChessVibes. So enjoy game 4!

Games start at 15:00 CET / 09:00 EST on October 14 & 15, 17 & 18, 20 & 21, 23 & 24, 26 & 27, 29 and 31.
