The photographer is already on the scene. Next Friday the unofficial World Fischerandom Chess Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura will start at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter at Høvikodden in Bærum municipality, Norway, in a scenario mixed with classical and contemporary art, wireless networks, clouds, speakers and techno lights. Both players have accepted to wear heart rate sensors, so as to offer the audience an insight into their emotions while playing. The Chess.com web site will provide major coverage and live broadcasting, with English-language commentary by Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan and International Master Anna Rudolf. Photos © Lennart Ootes.
