Anyone know if the match will have live internet video?

I really miss that. I guess it requires to much bandwidth making it
too expensive.

Better yet....I really REALLY miss watching a match on tv. I
rememeber the Man vs. Machine match live on ESPN with GM Kasparov with
expert commentary from GM Seirawan and GM Ashley. That was alot of
fun since I have a tv card on my pc and would chat online too.

Here's a link that brings back memories -

And it would be so easy to do. Who but us would wath it, though? There's
a way around that long boring time issue: Do a semi-live broadcast.
Within 30 minutes after the game is over, they could broadcast coverage
that covers only the moves and comments, cutting out all the "dead
time," as non-chess addicts call it. We'd see the players studying the
move, and we'd hear the comments, and it would appear seamless from move
to move.

In other words words, it would look live even though it isn't. Call it
instant video.

I very much doubt it. My understanding is that an author can be
delighted if his chess book sold even 1,000 copies so it seems very
unlikely that you'd get ten times that audience.

Fritz will defenately play e2-e4. Engines are since long aware of e2-e4
being the best opening for white, aren't they?
What opening book settings are made by the Fritz team, is something
different.
They will prob. just check on the results of Kramnik on the several options.
Hopefully, and probably, we'll see some more variation than in the last
match-up.
