IM hans Bohm seems to be commenting (he's quite populair (media coverage! :) in
the Netherlands and probably well paid)
Also, the most important dutch chess sites have links to the event, of course
this could be better...

They're copying the pgn files stored by the players (which is why some of the
games have scores/depth etc in them). Same happened in Leiden earlier this year
which caused some of 31337/celes's games not to be displayed the day they were
played (we had to send them by email since we didn't have diskdrive and the
opponent only had his native savegames).
