  • Enough Already ;)

    Now that we have the reality show that passes for an American presidential election out of the way, we can focus on what really matters.
    I am, of course, talking about the World Chess Championship. An event where bullshit cannot so easily baffle brains.

    I was about to post something similar. The Globe & Mail has 24 pages of post-election coverage, plus in the business section every other story is about he-who-we-will-not-name.

    Does anyone know what time the first game starts tomorrow (the official website is mostly concerned with selling me a ticket, though 1.00 pm seems to be implied).

    Was it ever settled whether unofficial sites will carry the games live?

      It's funny that the official site doesn't specify the start times of the rounds.
      Judging from their count-down timer, the broadcast starts at 1pm on Friday, but maybe that's just the start of the pre-game show.

      The Chess.24 site says the games start at 2pm EST.

        And yet, in spite of your suggestion, you take one last shot!

        I do agree with you, however!
