Magnus vs The World Discussion Summary

My honest opinion. This is a great event with record registration BUT not true quality participation. Of the ~100K registered players only about 10% actively vote. Many people registered BUT paradoxically the logistics of the event were not well organized, specially in the area of communication between The World team members and their coaches. Chess.com should have made more emphasis (perhaps at the time of registration 🤔) on the importance of collaboration and facilitate more ways to achieve it. For example, the analysis and comments of The World coaches Benjamin Bok, David Martinez, David Pruess, Dina Belenkaya, and Dane Mattson should have been easily accessible and promoted. The majority of the participants that I contacted didn’t know about the coaches or where to find their posts about the event. I hope Chess.com look into this in the future to raise the quality of play in this type of events. It would make them more fun and impactful. Unfortunately, my main takeaway is the low quality of play. It could have been avoided.

Other than reading 60 pages of comments, have the coaches been posting somewhere else?

At times but not consistently and it is very difficult to find their posts. It could have been MUCH better.

Nothing happening here in last 5 days. There was some nice analysis including NM's here. Why did it stop?

Yes, unfortunately it has been difficult to maintain this post updated due to my other tasks and projects, so for the time being will have to discontinue it. Apologies everyone.

Still looking for a more practical way of helping out with this activity though.
