You can also get it from the source without scrolling http://www.chessclub.com/chessfm/; and it is also cool to open a second window at this website (which adds real-time computer analysis, text-chat - sometimes with super-GMs!) http://chessbomb.com/. Place/truncate the windows side-by-side, etc.

It's amazing where the GM commentators differ with the computer, and where the computer analysis is completely busted by their comments! Unfortunately ... not too often nowadays; and getting oftener each year... :-/

Of course, switch the second window over Saturday morning ½ an hour in to watch/listen to the Adanac - Chess And Go match; and on Sunday 3½ hours in to watch/listen to the Fritzlein - Tuks games!!!

Just my 2¢... ~ Zephyr G.
