I beg you stop doing this, every time if I want to play some games I'm at risk of getting results spoiled because I don't have time to watch live broadcast and recaps of the games right after they end and often I forgot about that STUPID BANNER on the top of chess.com home page. You literally can't miss it. I got almost every result spoiled by them. STOP THIS PLEASE !

I agree! It makes perfect sense to deprive 1,000,000 Chess.com users of the results so that NealCafferyy can be surprised later

We've just discovered the axis around which the universe revolves!

There could be a Nobel Prize in this!

Did you hear the news? Magnus won game 6; game 7 was a draw. Magnus is a game ahead!!!

You're asking one of the biggest chess sites on the internet to wait on posting the results of the world's biggest chess tournament just so people like you (and me, technically) can avoid spoilers?  I guarantee you that more players are wanting to see the results as soon as possible and are going to the home page to see it and will see it as a failure of the website if those results are not there.

If you can't watch it live, it's on you to try to avoid spoilers if you don't want to know the results, yet.  I can't watch it live, and I like watching the replay on my own time and, yes, I've been spoiled a couple of times from seeing facebook or twitter posts while I'm watching the game.  That's just the risk I take in not waking up early enough to watch it live.

 

And when it comes right down to it, it is easy to avoid the chess.com home page if you know that the results are going to be posted there.  I don't even know when the last time I viewed the home page was, probably more than a year ago.  Just go straight to the game play page or your profile page or some other page where you can access the menu without seeing any possible spoilers.
