Originally posted by wormwoodI can't hear it either. I assume you need to pay ducats for it.
any idea how to get the audio commentary working on playchess free client? I have wmp9 and even installed the new free client as instructed, but not a sound. there's not even a 'chessmedia' pane visible (which btw works fine in cb reader, so wmp9 can't be the problem?).

Originally posted by WulebgrI decided to go ahead and create an account at Playchess (so far I had only logged in as a guest) in order to be able to get ducats. I had hoped that would enable me to hear the commentary already today (as I have time today), but apparently it takes about a day to get the ducats. 🙁 The only way to get them at once is via Click&Buy, and they don't let you register there if you don't have a cell phone. Darn.
10 ducats per day to hear Yasser (well worth it in my book).

Originally posted by Nordlysyea, I was a bit disappointed by that. the svidler - pono game looks interesting, and surprisingly the kramnik - navara as well. the topo game looks like a tal game, and he's used only a half an hour at move 29. the guy is just crazy. 🙂
Carlsen - Anand drawn after 20 moves.
