Our regular TV ChessBase live broadcasts ("the real thing") will
be conducted every evening at around 19:30h Central European Time. If an important
game ends earlier the postgame session with the winner may be conducted earlier.
The games of the last three rounds are being covered live on Chessgate,
the official Sparkassen Chess Meeting home page, and on Playchess.com,
where the live TV post-game coverage is also being conducted. ChessBase bid
for and got the rights for this live co-transmission, and will be doing live
audio and possibly video commentary during the games. Come and enjoy.
