Sorry...for the chess.com broadcasts, chess.com->Watch->Events (hover and click), then click on the display for FIDE Candidates Tournament.

Wonderful - many thanks, geeker.

I've rediscovered an interest in the game recently; your considered response is most helpful.

(It'll be interesting to see how young Sindarov copes; I even considered a bet on him a while back but he's shortened into odds of 7/2. Nakamura too, given the context of his challenge.)

I was all wet on my commentator predictions.

I'm watching Gustafsson and Svidler on FIDE channel https://www.youtube.com/@FIDe_chess/live

Chess24 has Arturs Neiksans (who I like) and the less good backups Anna Rudolf and John Sargent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JavCGCJcaQ

Chess.com currently seems to have an inferior (IMO) broadcast from Nakamura's Kick channel with J L Hammer and Fiona Steil-Antoni. They are solid commentators, however. Hammer's explanations are very clear.

Waiting to see if lichess has a worthy broadcast.

Thoroughly enjoyed the access to Sindarov's thoughts in the studio immediately after his win against Prag with the black pieces there.

Imminent Sindarov-Caruana 1-0, clear front runner and another interview expected.

Now Sindarov dismantles the tournament favourite.
It's great to witness the youngster's progress.

Thanks geeker.
I saw the press conference but not a studio interview.
I should have made that bet.
