🥴 The players' timers (top/bottom right of the chessboard) are not legible at all. Who tf thought light gray text on top of orange is a good idea?!
The FIDE team needs to brush up on web accessibility standards (WCAG) 🙏
Horrible coverage. It's a great event that deserves much better
No evil bar

Good
У вас микрофоны не выключены если чо
Bad coverage
Bad coverage. There is a disconnect between the commentary and the games being displayed all made much worse by the rapid switching from one game to another one.

The broadcast should show more images of the matches, with a smaller board and smaller commentators….it's too heavy!

Can you see me
Just letting you know that there is unintentional audio in the first few minutes of all the commentators speaking
timestamps please
FIDE you need a better analysis board. There is a big glare on the top left of it cmon you can do better.
Irina was great
Is it that hard to make a table of standing? 😂
I really dont see the point of streaming an event like this to viewers when there isn't anything for the convenience of the viewers. There is no scoreboard to keep track of team standings, so many broadcast pauses. Genuinely why should we even bother with watching the broadcast when we can just go and watch some clips taken from the event or just watch some recaps instead.
In the beginning, I think it would be great to have some showdown of the teams and their members.
