Great idea! Official Chess Championship music from TD. :D

Jon, very fascinating match today. Watched the last three hours (after I got home) of the game on live TV.
Very sad that I will not be able to watch all 12 matches live because of work. Hope to see as much as possible though.

Used to love a game of Chess...never was any good but loved it when on the rare occasion I actuallty won..still have a few chess sets but never had a game for years. As far as watching it goes I would probably find it akin to watching paint dry or even worse Cricket.

Think I'd rather watch international marbles, in fact even inter-county marbles than cricket :P

Live chess :shock: have Sky TV heard of this ?? They have everything else, why not chess.

Used to play a lot, not for years though

I am surprised how exciting and fascinating it is to watch. Did not believe it until I started. With lots of expert comments and discussions in the studio. Hope to see as much as possible of this match that lasts until November 28.

The longest and most exciting match so far in the championship yesterday. 2-2 between Carlsen and Anand. 8 regular matches to go.

I am kinda interested but I have a nephew of 10 who's close to beating me so it's a painful topic. Good for him of course, but I have some pride. It's bad enough when your goram phone beats you at chess.
imho

Have to practice then. :-) Fascinating about chess that there are unlimited possibilities within each match.
Magnus Carlsen won yesterday, and took the first whole point of the championship. Very exciting match!
Now match 6 has just started. Following on live TV now. :-)

Victory again for Magnus Carlsen today. He is now only half a point away from the championship title. Fantastic!
Will be very exciting tomorrow.
