Live Championships

Post by katchum » Tue Oct 19, 2004 9:59 am

I followed Kasparov against the Fritz.

I now wonder if there are more live games to follow on Chess.FM

Anyone know something about live chess events? (with screen, without screen is just stupid)

Most of the Leko-Kramnik World Championship Match was carried live on chess.fm (all would have been, if not for an accident that befell Tony Rook). To see the game(s), you follow chessfm on ICC. You can do that as a guest, membership is unecessary.

More often than not, there is some event happening in the world of chess that you can view live at ICC, and often on the playchess server as well. Chess.FM carries audio for some of these events--always in conjunction with ICC (as the two are joined). Playchess has a better GUI (Fritz and family), and they carried the press conferences in the Leko-Kramnik match live.
