Magnus vs The World Round 2

I was very much looking forward to Magnus Vs The world. To me it seemed a brilliant try at collective intelligence, however when I read about the the C.I. structure I was appalled, and knew instantly that Magnus would win. Here is why.

The fore most issue in my mind is the unnecessary supervision provided by the 3 GMs. That element alone reduced the game to Magnus VS 3 Chiefs in one kitchen. secondly the voting system was unimaginative. You can't have the vote of a 900 rank player equal that of a 1900 one, better player's thoughts should count more.

If I had the means I would challenge Magnus to vs the world again, but this time use a different structure. The structure I would create would be primarily visual and would only use a voting system and chess.com's members (because they are rated). By a visual system I mean something like this http://turbulence.org/spotlight/thinking/chess.html. When a 900 ranked player suggests E4 as the opening move, it logs that suggestion as a transparent line. When the 1900 ranked player suggests D4 a much less transparent line appears. This way players can see what everyone else is thinking. Then a computer or human representative selects the move which received the most votes. 

Although I feel that a system like the one I just recommended would be infinitely closer to Collective Intelligence then what we saw in Round 1, I still do not think it would beat Magnus. The reason is that you still really are only playing 1v1. To truly combine multiple players would require task delegation, each player grinding out different calculations then the next. Then you would need to be able to coalesce those thoughts into one mind--Something which I think is currently beyond our capacity.
