Is there a video archive of the (rapid and blitz) match between Kasparov and Karpov that took place in Valencia in 2009? I assume there was a live video coverage with commentary, and I would very much like to watch it. Is there a website where one can (re)watch this match?

Sadly, the official website does not seem to be very helpful in this (or, indeed, any) regard. I am looking for something like the video archive of the Kasparov vs. Short match held recently in Saint Louis.– ZvonimirApr 28, 2015 at 19:23

The live coverage with commentary we have grown so accustomed to, is a development of the last few years. I think I saw the first press conferences on the chessvibes website probably in 2008 and that wasn't yet live. So possibly your assumption is just wrong. But you can go through the comments on chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=69871 , if there is a video archive somewhere it might have been mentioned.– BlindKungFuMasterApr 29, 2015 at 8:15

Ok, looked a bit through the comments myself, apparently there was a video coverage, but the old links are dead. Maybe if you search in spanish ...– BlindKungFuMasterApr 29, 2015 at 8:23

There is a bit on youtube. But looks very incomplete.– BlindKungFuMasterApr 29, 2015 at 8:27

@BlindKungFuMaster: Thanks for your comments. kingscrusher has made an unofficial video annotation of all blitz and rapid games. There are only small parts of the official coverage on YouTube (at least from what I have seen). It's very strange. Apparently, there was an official live video coverage, but the video is nowhere to be found. I mean, we are talking about Kasparov vs. Karpov here... One would assume that the video is available in every corner of the on-line chess world.– ZvonimirApr 29, 2015 at 9:13

I was already aware that there are short videos of the match on Youtube, but I am looking for a replay of the official coverage. The videos you mention contain parts of the official coverage, but there are really not the kind of thing I am looking for. But thank you for the answer anyway!– ZvonimirMay 16, 2015 at 13:56
