It should be first to three wins, must win by two games (like a tennis set). Draws do not count. As many games as it takes. All classical time control.

The world champion should be the winner of a tournament, not a duel.

On topic - Gelfand has my sympathy, he outplayed himself.
I never really liked Anand. He plays quickly and is obivously naturally talented, but I always had a feeling with his games that they are, I don´t know, "artificial" in some sense.
Chess is a bitch.

20+ classic games, WCh wins if match is equal. Means one player in every moment is behind, and he is in must win situation. As we saw in this match, the games were boring especially when players were both happy with current match situation.
In this way, we will also probably see longer games (you can see in the last rapid game, Boris played it out even if it was obvious draw earlier...), as you cannot afford to give easy game to your opponent while you are behind in score.

How comes that such a boring match "generated considerable interest from chess fans and the media." ?
"On some days, the auditorium’s 400 seats were unable to accommodate all the people who wanted to watch the game. "
"The official tournament website received some two million unique visitors during the tournament and more than six million hits. A video broadcast of the match, which was not only available on the official website but also on other Internet resources, was viewed by approximately three million people. An average of 200,000 users watched each game online using the video broadcast. The most entertaining game came on the final day of the match, when an all-time high of more than 50,000 simultaneous connections to the server were registered."

Originally posted by PacifiqueAll I can say about that is that, if Danailov supports a certain format, it must be ipso facto bad.
