I didn't notice this before, but Aussie fans should note that GM Ian Rogers is providing live commentary on the official site starting from the 11th round. Problem is, it looks like we've got to download some sort of Java applet just to see their broadcast. What's the point in that when I can go to Playchess or ICC?
