I was hesitating answer your question because it largely depended on the opinion of the Honorable Judge Victor Marrero.

In a hearing which ended a little more than an hour ago in Manhattan, it was decided that the injunctive relief sought to prevent Chessgames and other sites from relaying the raw move data was unfounded. Virtually every claim was rejected, with the judge adding "I know this area of the law very well."

It is possible they will continue to press forward with a suit for perceived damages but they cannot prevent Chessgames nor any other website from relaying the move data.

So to answer your question: if you want to see the official World Chess video and commentary, and the "3D immersive experience", there is an app that starts at $15 available from the official site: https://worldchess.com/nyc2016/. Chessgames has no problem in their attempt to commercialize chess, and if a 3D virtual-reality chess experience is what you want, that's the place to get it.

If you prefer to watch Chess24's excellent video commentary that will be available at a URL we will be certain to post by game time.

Members of the Internet Chess Club will be treated to a wide variety of commentators including Kingscrusher (Tryfon Gavriel), Larry Christiansen, Yasser Seirawan, Ray Robson, and many more.

And of course everybody is welcome to view the games (100% free) on our Live Broadcast Page. Now that I know they aren't going to seize my webservers for broadcasting chess moves, I'll have that page set up in short order.

But, I now think I see the crazy complications you are into. The law is sometimes an ass...but here you have an intelligent judge. That is the hope of the US...and the world, believe it or not, honest knowledgeable judges....It sounds as though cg.com you have it well organised...

I don't like this 3-D nonsense, I will go for your broadcast and hopefully see some of it live.

I know that the politics and business etc are complicated.

Commercialize chess...I agree it probably has to happen...and I started a couple of businesses years ago so we all have dreams. But the draw back is when they have an Armageddon to decide just to please the Patricians and the Unwashed Others watching the the chess match...I feel it is almost impossible: chess isn't boxing...mind you boxing with all it's faults, especially in the "good old days". I suppose there's a parallel.

yes they can all put the boot into me on Rogoff (poor old Rogoff, what does he think of all the nonsense written on his site? How many people play over his games?)))

Oh well, here in NZ where a lot of Americans are trying to get, although I think that is over the top...here it will start for me and GM <Benzol> at about 8 am but I am not sure....

I just re-read that: one hour ago!! Incredible. Well, thanks for all this.

(I understand they need to make money.)

However I also like to see the players live...Carlsen is amusing to watch. He sometimes seems to be asleep. Then when things get "technical" he sits up and he's on full power!!

Chess moves themselves are viewed as facts - like relaying boxscores during a baseball game - the precedence having been long ago established.

But the efforts to contradict occassionally surface:

Hi Tech Draw. Not a good time for such problems. I was having trouble with my internet. Kept dropping off. The server people solved it I think. I think it was a fault on the local telephone circuit or the exchange. No idea. But I know it is really annoying.

Ah finally got through- <Daniel> I just sent you an email complaining that I couldn't get through at all during the game, and even now I'm timing out. Please help me I'm in Korea and nobody speaks English here except me.
