Hi all,
http://www.berlin2015.fide.com/
Is it just me, or is the official site of World Rapid and Blitz champs a disaster? Apart from not being able to view the actual results due to a SSL error, it is quite hard to find other information, when you click "watch the world chess rapid and blitz championships 2015" window, you're actually taken to the worldchess site where the upper menu changes to completely irrelevant info ("ratings and "champion" being the same site and just some fancy drawings of the players and their rating info - the top players that is, not the actual participants of the rapid & blitz WC).
What I find most annoying though, is the volume of social media sharing buttons - they are simply everywhere! each picture, the top and bottom of each page, and also a toolbar on the left side of each news page? seriously??
Ok enough ranting, as everyone can see for themselves and make up their own mind; however I wanted to point out how does the supposed official site look like... IMO it's just an awful social media junkie site with verry little useful info and chaotic navigation...
