The quality of broadcast is one of the things we will put a lot of effort towards Candidates-2026.
What features you'd like to see there? What should be improved compared to Toronto? What kind of content outside the games you would be interested to see?
Kindly compare with previous Candidates or the Match, and not with events where there are many boards and/or faster time-control.
Thanks!

Grandmaster Benko (15 July 1928 – 25 August 2019) was one of the very few people who were willing to help my sisters and I for no charge whatsoever. He played blitz games with the three of us and, even though he was beyond his prime, he was still a fierce competitor

¿Recordáis a alguien en la historia del ajedrez que haya ganado dos veces al 'número uno' con 10 y 11 años? En el caso de Faustino Oro y Magnus Carlsen, son partidas de un minuto. Pero, aún así, es muy impresionante. Mi columna: elpais.com/ajedrez/partid…#Ajedrez#chess
"The modern game of chess is universally recognised as a form of art in its own right. To me it seems to have much in common with music.The player may be compared with a composer creating a work which reflects his thoughts and feelings,his whole personality".
