Game 5 summary
Powerplay 26: Checkmate Challenge — essential knowledge
Checkmate. That's the aim of the game. There are numerous ways to checkmate the enemy king, but there are common patterns that recur over and over again, and having these at our mental fingertips is essential for when we want to finish the game.
GM Daniel King provides a 5-minute look at the main events of the day:

Why is Black's clock running when it is White to move?
The fomat would have been, instead of draws 4 now), playoff every round of draw, re rapid, blitz, bullets...would very substantially eliminate draws.
Hello, I only created an account to be able to tell you that I loved the explanation of game three. I was wondering why they had stopped there, since the remaining pawn of Caruana could be won, and then the explanation was so easy!! So thank you very much for that!
@Alexandru27 @MicroTone - I honestly didn't think it was unclear: WorldChess.com is the only place to watch the live English video online and it would make no sense to offer for 5 euro what they charge for 20, especially since we are also offering a 25% discount. But as soon as we realised the confusion of both having "premium" in the name, we clarified it. And of course you will receive a reply from our Support staff.
FWIW there are a lot of things you can do with your ChessBase Premium account which you can read about here: https://account.chessbase.com/en/matrix
Thanks.

The fact is that Fabiano will not press in better endgame positions he feels should be drawn with best play, but Magnus will. This says a lot about their character. I believe Magnus will and should win the match. Fabiano had nearly a full point advantage in the rook endgame today, played second best moves quickly, then offered a draw. Not a single one of the 16 classical world champions would have done that. That is why Fabiano doesn't deserve to be number 17. Magnus, if the roles were reversed, would have taken his time and tortured Fabiano for 50 more moves . After Kg2? e5! the position was -/+
Well that was my case too, yesterday morning I bought a premium only to be able to watch live video of players and Polgar commentary. That didn't happen on Chessbase and today when I read again the article I thought that I must have been in error yesterday, but, as MicroTone points it, it turns out not?
Such is life...5 euros is no big deal, but I hope Chessbase will be more attentive in the future and not advertise something which is not real.

Extremely misleading!! One should not need to "read the small print"
Originally, this webpage stated
"Premium Subscription Includes: ... Exclusive Live Video from the World Chess Championship, Commentary by GM Judit Polgar, IM Anna Rudolf as well as other guests, Multi-camera view",
as I quoted in my first post, below.
The text was not "World Chess Premium Subscription Includes: ...", as it is now. It was, at least, misleading since, some lines above, it is stated that "ChessBase Premium Membership gives you access to watch the live games".
It's good that this webpage was edited to reflect that official commentary is not included. However, I only got a Chessbase premium membership because, originally, it was advertised that it would include the Championship coverage I wanted.
Can you please tell me how to request a refund? (I wrote the support team and they are not replying.)
Without the live video coverage, Chessbase does not offer me anything I'm not already getting in ChessClub.com, so, right now, I don't need one. Furthermore, if I decide to support World Chess, I'll do it directly, because of the way this news item was originally designed.
Thanks!!

@MicroTone: there is no Polgar commentary and live video of the playing hall that we can get only with a Premium Chessbase subscription. World Chess premium subscription include these.
It is stated on this article.

Tried to purchase on the world chess site several times today with the above promo code and the site is pure rubbish - not only do errors occur when inputting my card details the promo code fails to register.
I shall be checking my cards over the next few days for suspicious activity!

Hello,
Very sad the match is not on Chessbase without prime! And a little bit stupid because you can look on other sites!

If you hover your mouse over the little camera view, the option to choose another "channel" appears.
The J.Polgar commentary is on one of the channels (maybe ch. 21?). But if you switch away from 21 to another camera angle, you loose the commentary.
Darn weird that I paied $25 at WorldChess.com, but then come Nov/09 there is no link at WorldChess.com I can click to see the live game. (Or if there was a link buried somewhere, I could not find it.) Instead, I had to access my email to dig out the link - which in my case is a pain on my little phone.

@ MicroTone - The World Chess Premium subscription does include video and commentary.
@derekmccormack - Because of the World Chess commentary - however, we'll have daily video round-ups.
