I am not sure if its the official feed, I doubt it, but Judiths commentary is excellent, she focuses on the pure elements, not waffling on about variations that are never likely to happen and she pitches at a level that is easy for an amateur to grasp. Ok the two Norwegian TV presenters are total noobs and ask really dumb questions but its a small price to pay. Lev Alburt showed up and gave his insights on game 3, told some stories about the legendary soviet players, was awesome, Irina Krush was there on game four to offer some ideas along with the legendary Judith, was all good.
It's the way the draw was worked out.
Games 1-6 Carlsen gets White in 1, 3 and 5, Karjakin 2,4 and 6..
In the second set of six games this is reversed.
Games 7, 9, and 11 Karjakin has White, Carlsen has White in 8,10 and 12.

Cannot agree that all four games have been hard fought. Games 1 and especially 2
were non-events. Games 3 & 4 ...[text shortened]... e win.
In the end he resorted to a ploy that even I saw when the King was halfway towards a2.
Only problem was that for some reason game four was either blocked by Agon or had technical difficulties and could not be shown in normal browser mode, but all one had to do was go to setting and switch to android/ generic tablet and it worked a treat. Chrome and the original open source Linux version chromium have this feature that allows you to emulate different platforms. If anyone wants to know how to do it let me know, essentially you press F12 to get the console up and go to settings.
Going out now to get beers in for this evening, looking for Sergey to open with 1.d4 2.Nf3 and 3.e3!! with clear and stable advantage 😀
