Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
The official website is not responding?
Yes the games are stuck. Don’t know if there is an alternate place to see the moves..
I do not understand how it is possible, as very little information is needed, just a score game would satisfy us.
A mirror is easy to set-up…
What a pity.
Yes, this is totally frustrating.
Very poor organization.
What a pity, indeed!
They must either have five year old working on their website or maybe 95 year old working there. Pretty pathetic for a world class tournment.
No live game, no GM commentary for the top women GP. Why???
The official site went down and all the leachers’ broadcasts went down too. So it was imposible to follow games anywhere.
I hope now you understand why Bulgarians protested. They done all the work and others (like ChessBase) took it without asking.
The organizers have ALL the rights that are connected with the broadcast. If the organizers wouldn’t transmit the games, nobody would.
I hope you see the “Bulgarians vs. ChessBase” thing more clearly now. Organizers invest money and do all the work, so they are rightfully pissed when someone steals their work without asking!
I think ChessBase, ICC, ChessOK, etc. should pay the organizers for broadcasting rights. Like in any other sport.
