Is anyone else having problems with the audio on the official site?

Tried refreshing, and now can't get anywhere at all with it.

Someone on Twitter linked to this: http://www.nrk.no/sport/sjakk/

NRK are an official tournament broadcaster, so I guess it's fine to watch that.

Well so far no moves on their demo boards. Bizarre.

LIve games are at

No pgn score, but no conditions of use either. Just the one Berlin in Anand-Topalov which was met with the move of the queen's pawn to the third rank. Topalov responded by playing his King's Bishop to the Queen's Bishop four square.

Pretty farcical - no moves on the board then the audio started duplicating. So I press refresh and get a 502.

Actually they don't. It's just a series of more or less random moves.

I'm not sure the moves that have appeared have been played by anyone with aspirations of being world champion though :lol:

So far as I can see the Norwegian site is the only one currently showing moves, including WorldChess/AGON. Is that right?

That's what Twitter seems to have concluded.

Sadly, they seem to have adopted the hashtag #Candidates2016 so you get the odd American Presidential election tweet thrown in to the chess feed.
