A view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the venue of the World Chess Championship match. Agon expects millions of viewers during the games, as it had during the 2014 World Championship in Sochi, Russia. Mr. McClain is editor-in-chief of WorldChess.com, the official site of the World Chess Championship. The last time a World Championship was held in New York City was in 1995, when Garry Kasparov played Viswanathan Anand on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center. People who cannot get to New York City or the site to watch the match in person will be able to watch it on World Chess.com -- the official site of the World Championship -- as well as several partner sites.
