Re: New broadcast model for World Championship Match
Agree that for me the US commentary team of Yasser - not allowed to do much seriosu analysis, with the ever so annoying Jen, followed by Maurice with what his engine saw and the truly awful phone-ins is just terrilbe. I always avoid it - Peter and Jan on Chess24 for me. Likewise the official commentary from the candidates was dire at times - though the main protagonists were good (and the main man did the olympiad too and seemed much smoother) - so maybe there is hope.
the problem is tryign to establish a monopoly for a product that frankly no-one wants to buy, because last time you tried to sell us something it was terrible.

You will probably have had an email offering you 15% off the Agon commentary prices. I did reply to the email - expressing doubts about copyright and exressing distaste for their business practice and bullying tactics. Fair play to them, I seemed to get a response from the CEO - we obviously will never see eye-to-eye over the broadcast model - but they did reply.

How odd. Annoyingly I can't remember its precise content but it was to a page (Agon I think) where the name of a contact was given as Wolfgang von Kempelen.Paul Dargan wrote:There is no tweet - the link is empty now
