    So what's your excuse? For running like the devil's chasing you?

    See you in another life, brotha.

    When will you start changing your sleeping times so you can watch this tournament live?

    Actually a combination of rostered days off and leave (though not for chess-watching reasons!) means I shouldn't have that much interference from work in watching this.

    But as far as I can tell games start at 2 pm Mexico time, and Mexico is fifteen hours behind us, which means they start at 5 am here. And as far as I'm concerned, that's about as ugly as it gets.

    Games will be 14-17 Sep, 19-22 Sep, 24-26 Sep and 28-30 Sep our time AFAICT.

    Where and how can you watch these games 'live'?

    I admit I'm always fascinated with watching good players play!
    Did you know that the literal translation for Silver is actually Money in 14 different languages, across 51 different countries?

    Official site is at www.chessmexico.com and doubtless a live link will appear there sometime once the games get underway, but there will probably be a better one somewhere else (often is!) Keep an eye on this thread, and the shoutbox at times when games are going.

    I think it is highly unlikely that anyone is going to comment that games have started when they begin at 5am EST

    I would have agreed with you until I saw that Paulb is putting some training time on the Dosza thread (post #40)

    ...I don't want to go among mad people Alice remarked, "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: we're all mad here. I am mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat ,"or you wouldn't have come here."

    Bet-at-home also has odds which are similar except that they give Aronian a better chance and Svidler longer odds. This site has a comparison.

    Betsson had this a few weeks ago:

    Anand 3
    Kramnik 3.9
    Aronian 5.6
    Leko 10
    Morozevich 15
    Svidler 17.5
    Grischuk 27
    Gelfand 48

    Pinnaclesports have this:

    Viswanathan Anand (IND) +188
    Vladimir Kramnik (RUS) +254
    Levon Aronian (ARM) +425
    Peter Leko (HUN) +859
    Alexander Morozevich (RUS) +1200
    Peter Svidler (RUS) +1691
    Alexander Grischuk (RUS) +2305
    Boris Gelfand (ISR) +4514

    (I assume these are what you get back plus your stake for an investment of 100.)

    I've seen a few others around - lots of variation re the longer odds but everyone has Anand slight favourite over Kramnik. Interesting how this forum is so strongly backing Kramnik to win (as I am) - Anand has had the wood on Kramnik recently.
