OMG World Championship is On Anand Vs Gelfand

[DiggertheDog]

Welcome back 2+2...

and this is where we post thoughts on WC!

yay.

[Army Eye]

Clearly the players are in the 'feeling out' stage. Which is pretty normal for a world championship match. Unfortunately there are only 10 games left.

I hope that Gelfand has something interesting prepared, but I'm afraid he won't take enough chances to be competitive.

Major chess servers both relay it with lots of observers commenting (FICS, ICC, probably others).

The world's most uninteresting player vs the world's most uninterested player. A battle of the titans.

My thoughts exactly. You sir, are clearly "Doing it Right".

Game 3 en route now with HD video and Timman commenting, quit your whining guys Anand looks uncomfortable, don't have a baseline on how he usually looks during the game though so he could always be like that

[wlrs]

wtf broadcast. I want to watch chess, not a documentary on the Tretyakov gallery mid-game

edit: going on for like 20 minutes now. I want to punch something

[Sugar Nut]

They have got to be kidding. Who thought it would be a good idea to continuously interrupt the fkn World Championship match with random art discussions?

Obviously there are going to be commercials. One can't really complain about those, but this right now??? Jesus.

EDIT:
LOL. Chat comment on chessbomb.com

boredteenloafer: I am never going to visit Russia on the basis of the crapness of the official coverage

[wlrs]

Ridiculous. Commercials are OK but this art discussion is making me green hulk-angry.

[Noir_Desir]

you could rage-blunder away our game for a start

"trolling is an art" gets a whole new meaning here.

The chess.com feed is quite amazing as well. GM Magesh is commenting via webcam from home and apparently does not have any light sources except for a constantly flickering lamp/strobo light in the background
