Originally posted by robbie carrobieI'm watching it on the beta version of Infinity Chess (Windows systems only). Not that this software is any better than others, but I just wanted to try it out. There was text commentary by Arno Nickel (his handle is ciron), but he's just announced that he has a migraine and has to stop his commentary. But the moves will continue. (The software is a large file size - 138 MB.)

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHope you like the software. It looks promising, but it does lack a few features that I miss. (It has a look and feel very similar to the Playchess GUI.) The one thing that bugs me about the WC broadcast is that Arno will periodically run through a series of moves to try out a possible variation that a player might play - Yet it doesn't register as a variation, so you don't know whether it's a real move or not. 😕 (Also, I don't think the clocks are accurate at all for the broadcast.)
thanks rook, ill down load and watch, hopefully commentary will resume at some point, i wish i had pictures - regards Robert.
Edit - Ah, it looks like ciron has started his commentary again.

it seems I was right, black is now a calear pawn up and has more activity, but white has drawing chances with the opposite colour bishops...
Even I was liking Anand more in this game because he was more brave, it would be nice to have a Kramnik win today as black...Go Kramnik, we do not like draws
