A simple question. Why do people watch chess tournaments?

A: To see administrators administrate.

B: To see chess players play chess.

Someone somewhere has lost sight of a most basic fundamental that everything else they may care about rests on.



C: To see well dressed people play chess.


Might as well add "D: for the coffee in the lobby". It's the same level of true and the same level of relevant.


technically no. theres only a camera feed on magnus, really. everyone is just watching the board. i know i was, for Rosen's games this weekend

hikaru was trying to get camera feed of his games to stream, and fide said no


Also, technically, I'm watching video feeds of various players, and also seeing camera angles with an audience... :-)
