I don't think we have ever had these many GMs live commenting a chess match. Add to that a bunch of very entertaining (and often insightful) post-match analysis by IM/GM level players turned YouTubers. It all spices up the match quite a bit.

I first followed a WC match through live commentary in 2013 (incidentally Carlsen Vs Vishy in Chennai), which I think was the first ever live streamed on YouTube.

I've been following these WC matches since then; in similar boat as yours. Love watching all these analyses of immortal-games etc., but absolutely hate playing it :-)
