  1. 51:00 Interesting discussion. Maybe each world championship match should be best of 7 games and time control would be 1 hour per player, no increments? That would give theoretical upper limit of 7 hours per player in total and you could lose one or two games (and three in theory) and still win the player pairing. And 1 hour should be enough to allow thinking for important situations but wouldn't allow calculating so much for every move. And the rating change (win, lose, draw) would be computed for the whole match (up to 7 games), not as a result of a single game.

  2. I think the solution you had was the best you could do with the data you had. I guess the best step forward is to have two cameras recording in parallel so you have fully redundant backup of the discussion and in worst case, you simply have to use the non-optimal backup camera angle. Cameras are cheap enough that the cost of the extra cameras shouldn't be a big problem. You can even opt to cheaper lenses for backup cameras because it should be pretty rare that you have to switch to backup. As an option, you could use intentionally different camera angles for the backup cameras and in case all cameras work as intended, you have more camera angles to use for the final production video.
