Are they using steel, Ti or CF pieces?

Caught a bit of game one live on ICC.

For those interested, Yermo (Alex Yermolinsky) from ICC has a good recap of the first two games on youtube. I would think he will continue to recap games as they go.

Yes I follow. I like to consider moves as they are played and run them thru engines to consider the next.

The world championships are somewhat like the TDF in that if you give it a chance over the course of the event a great store develops.

It's a great game but like cycling I suck :-)

yes - I also like the link I posted because you can "rewind" and review the other possible options.

Hoping to have the first US champion since Bobby Fischer (1975).
