What to do?
Well, first of all, my vision of a zh WC differs from chess.com's. I think that one tournament is far too random - any given player can under- or overperform on any given day.
However, I can't compete with chess.com. Even though I was voted the most popular guy at my high school (LOL just kidding), I don't hold a candle to chess.com's popularity. Not only that, but chess.com is offering a higher prize pool; although it should be noted that my prize pool distribution promises to give some money to the "non-contenders," so to speak, while chess.com offers zilch for anyone outside of 10th place.
Benefits of FV's zh WC:
1) (IMO obviously) Better format, less random.
2) Better prize pool distribution.
3) Played on lichess, not on chess.com (@NobodyReally might have something to say about that :P).
4) Very reliable cheat detection.
Benefits of chess.com's zh WC:
1) Larger prize pool.
2) More popular.
It's up to you guys if I should continue with this WC or not.
