Well it has finally finished. Not that I was satisfied with the result (yet ) but it was a really good experince to have a chance to see how Magnus responds in action. At least it was for me, because we do not have much resources here.
I am not posting this to analize the game, as the wise mansaid "who am I to judge Magnus' game" . My analysises are subjective and have too many immature conclusions to it. So it would be wiser and respectful to see the GM's posts soon enough.
But what I am here to complain about, is thw system of plaing the match.
First, it was actually 3 GM's against GM Magnus Carlsen. Becuase things might have been missed by them, I am not criticizing them, because they are like a Godfather to me in chess, but this is human we are talking about, and mind of humans are fragile, specially under the time pressure. So maybe other voters got some ideas too, but never had the chance to tell. Like my father he reall had some good ideas . It would be better to give the chance of suggestion to some high rated players of Chess.com. But in general I was happy to see the 3 GM's voteing process, for it enables me to see how GMs think in action.
I was really fond of GM Polgar's votes. At the finishing stages specially Rb2 could have saved us some time. But she did not get much votes.
Nounetheless it was a good experience to have touch of new voting process.
Seceonly, my real problem, was the site itself. To put simply it has BUGS. I think my dear friend Valentin can help us here. Briefly put, site didn't refresh, the votes didn't show, it had alot of lag,...( and I was using DSL). So probabl one would have counted considering it is onl my technichal peroblem. But I am sure there were alot of voters having same problem.
But above all I really want to thank Chess.com's staff among which I found some really good friends and Gstar for bringing us this event. I for one, could not imagine playing (somehow, because it was World) against GM Magnus Carlsen.
Have a nice day my friends.

It was a fun game.
Thanks chess.com for experience.

Thanks for the insightful post Benyamin. I am sure that in the future as more world champions, or soon to be world champions start taking on "The World" online, the host website will improve too. No one, in any discipline, becomes a "Grand Master" overnight.
