I think that would be great for computer chess. I am currently watching the stream for the Skilling Open, and I love the live commentary.

The tourney is on ICC, which is an Internet Chess Server. So you can by definition follow all the games life; it is what ICS do.

Don't expect any human comments, though (other than from the participants).

That is what I find sad, as I see that as a way to get to know the developers of these fine engines by way of interviews along with IM and GM commentary and insight into the finer points of the games as well as how computers play chess. There is so much content to be covered. (History, Alpha Beta, Neural Networks, Programmers, Etc)

Ted and Thor I am with you on this. I sent a message to agadamator - he has a following. If anybody can think of somebody else that may be interested, say so here and I'll invite them to do so.

I wonder if GM Matthew Sadler would be interested in a project like this.
