I will post the result of each knockout match in this thread.

If you install TLCV (Tom's Live Chess Viewer) on your computer, you can watch the games live move by move. You'll also be able to chat to others following the tournament in the chatroom there.

The games are also being broadcast in Playchess and can be viewed by installing the free client here:

http://cumnor-chess-server.com/liveches ... s-Live.php is another live broadcast option.
Just click "live games" button then click "clear all" then click "Grouping" then "result" then highlight game and click "Watch games" button. Seems the only way to watch the games you want to watch. There is also chatwing.

Crafty 23.8 64-bit 4CPU showed that it is going to be tough to beat, with a comfortable 6.5-3.5 victory over Octochess r5190 64-bit 4CPU.

Gaviota 0.86 64-bit 4CPU (rating 2866) was held to a 5.0-5.0 draw by Booot 5.20 64-bit 1CPU (rating 2916).
