2016 Candidates - Agon Blocks Game Transmission By Chess Sites

They were supposed to stream the opening ceremony on that one site only, but of course it is not working.  What will be the quality of the broadcast for the games (if we can view them)?  I have a hunch it will be sub par.

It's going to be a big joke.  I was just on the official site and the live stream just shows the logo for the tournament.  Great job AGON!  Not.

Finally started to stream.  Must be on a 45 minute delay -

The stream is of cell phone quality.  What the heck is going on?

Let's all pray the coverage of the actual games is going to be better.

Does anyone know who the announcers will be?  These long classical games can be torture to sit through if the announcers are no good.

which site can we view the chess games on?

Supposedly worldchess.com  but everytime I tried to view the coverage I got an error message indicating the server has reached the maximum number of clients.  Way to go AGON!

Pathetic job by FIDE, Agon, "Worldchess website" in attempting to "broadcast" the Candidates match. FIDE shows it class yet again.
